Shipmates
Shipmates set sail at Tangeman Hall at 6:30 p.m. every fourth Thursday of the month from September through June. All aboard share their favorite potluck fare with one another on the high seas of fellowship. The voyage continues with an inspiring and informative presentation by a passenger, crew member, or special guest.
The Symbolism of the Ship
Since the days of the apostles, THE SHIP has been a symbol for the Christian Church.
- The mast and yardarm form a simple cross which stands for Christ who saved us by giving Himself on a cross that we might be forgiven.
- The waves symbolize the troubles and difficulties of life on earth.
- The sails are filled with wind, a symbol of the Holy Spirit, which empowers the Church.
Thus, the Christian Church, under the Cross of Christ, carries the faithful safely across the troubled seas of life to heaven.
