CROSS STITCH
- Above
the table in the narthex hangs a cross stitch. One of Joy's charter
members, Ellyn Maxwell, made it. It served as the first fair linen
used on Joy's altar for the years the congregation gathered for
worship at the Cullins Lake Pointe Elementary School in Rowlett.
Incidentally the table above which it hangs was Joy's first altar
also used
during the
Cullins Lake Pointe School time. It came to Joy as a gift from
Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Garland. Word is that Gloria Dei's first
pastor, Dewey Johnson, made it. Joy's congregational charter which
did hang above the old altar is now displayed on the stairway wall
in the narthex.
