You may have seen this steeple hundreds of times. But have you ever stopped to consider what it is there to say?
For centuries, church steeples have stood above communitiesāmaking the church visible, calling people to gather, and pointing eyes upward.
But our steeple is not the point.
The cross is.
Our prayer is that this restored steeple would point beyond itself to Jesus Christ.
That when someone in Keswick sees it, they might be reminded that life is more than what is immediately in front of us. That we were made by God. That we cannot ultimately satisfy ourselves with the things of this world. And that in Jesus there is forgiveness for sinners, hope for the weary, and salvation for all who trust in Him.
The church beneath this steeple is far more important than the steeple itself.
We are not here simply to preserve a building or celebrate our history. We are here to proclaim Christāto call people to know Him, worship Him, and find in Him the hope and refuge they cannot find anywhere else.
May this cross continue to point our community to Christ. And may we, the church beneath it, faithfully do the same.
