The Seed is the Word, 1992

This was a memorial gift given by friends in memory of Ernest Runions. I’ve always been challenged by this parable of Jesus. (Luke 8: 4-15.) The seed of God’s Word is plentiful, but its destiny is diverse; the seeds that fall in the soil of my heart and life may die or thrive. The challenge is to maintain the best soil, ‘an honest and good heart’ and to ‘bear fruit with patient endurance’.

Praise the Lord with Song (Antependium), 1993

This work was commissioned to honor Organist and Music Director Paul Birch for his 25 years of this work, by Margaret Birch. The images celebrate the gifts and skill of a great and much appreciated musician in this community of faith.
