Colors

We use color to represent seasonal changes within the church year and to highlight important events. The following list briefly describes the meaning of the liturgical colors used at Wellspring.

Color                    Season/Event                    Meaning

Purple                   Advent, Lent                         Royalty, repentance

White                    Christmas, Resurrection       Purity, celebration

Green                   Epiphany, Ordinary Time      Renewal, life

Red                      Pentecost, Ordinations          Presence of the Holy Spirit

Symbols

Symbols hold a special place in our worship services. For example, the cross is brought to the center of the sanctuary before the Gospel reading to signify the presence of Christ in our midst. A candle is placed on either side of the altar representing Jesus’ divine and human natures, and a seamless linen cloth covers the altar recalling the garment worn by Christ on the day of his crucifixion.
