These three pieces, the reredos, altar and pulpit, are beautiful pieces that add to our worship each week. His mahogany wood sculpting is easily recognizable for its long, lean, flowing lines, as well as for its idiosyncratic uppercase lettering of Scripture passages. In the craft of an artist, Schwidder did not intend to produce lifelike images, but to design through wood carving and other media visual theological truth apropos to the church setting and ministry in which his work had been commissioned.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wrapper\"><span class=\"content\" data-behavior=\"sortable_handle\"><span class=\"content_for_perma\">The body of Jesus on this cross is not dying &#8211; it is the risen Christ. His hands indicate a servant posture as he returns to serve the world, which is reflected in the circle behind the cross. The clouds at the top of the circle show Jesus &#8220;coming on the clouds&#8221; &#8211; this proclaims Jesus as the bridge between heaven and earth. There are 8 stars. The center star is the &#8220;morning star&#8221; from Revelation 2:28 heralding the dawn and representing resurrection. The other seven stars represent the Christian churches in Asian Minor from Revelation. As John was instructed to write to these churches, we ponder what John would have to write about Advent today as we strive to live into the light and love of the resurrected Christ.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"wrapper\"><span class=\"content\" data-behavior=\"sortable_handle\"><span class=\"content_for_perma\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schwidderart.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-behavior=\"truncate\">www.schwidderart.org<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>35.2989,-80.7341<\/p>\n<h3>Advent Lutheran Church<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>8840 University City Blvd.<br \/>Charlotte, NC 28213<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">704-549-1555<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<!-- {\"name\":\"\",\"type\":\"layout\",\"children\":[{\"name\":\"\",\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"image\":\"\",\"image_effect\":\"parallax\",\"image_height\":\"750\",\"image_parallax_bgy\":\"50,-90\",\"image_parallax_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"image_parallax_easing\":\"1\",\"image_position\":\"top-center\",\"image_width\":\"2560\",\"padding\":\"xsmall\",\"padding_remove_bottom\":true,\"padding_remove_top\":false,\"style\":\"default\",\"title\":\"\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"\",\"title_position\":\"center-right\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width\":\"expand\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"media_overlay_gradient\":\"\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"name\":\"\",\"type\":\"slideshow\",\"props\":{\"animation\":\"parallax\",\"container_padding_remove\":false,\"image_width\":\"2560\",\"link_style\":\"default\",\"link_text\":\"Read more\",\"margin\":\"default\",\"margin_remove_top\":false,\"meta_align\":\"above-title\",\"meta_color\":\"warning\",\"meta_element\":\"div\",\"meta_style\":\"h4\",\"nav\":\"thumbnav\",\"nav_align\":\"center\",\"nav_below\":false,\"nav_breakpoint\":\"\",\"nav_color\":\"\",\"nav_margin\":\"\",\"nav_position\":\"bottom-center\",\"nav_position_margin\":\"medium\",\"nav_vertical\":false,\"overlay_animation\":\"parallax\",\"overlay_container\":\"\",\"overlay_container_padding\":\"\",\"overlay_margin\":\"small\",\"overlay_position\":\"center\",\"overlay_width\":\"\",\"parallax_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"parallax_easing\":\"1\",\"parallax_y\":\"0,-50\",\"show_content\":true,\"show_link\":true,\"show_meta\":true,\"show_thumbnail\":true,\"show_title\":true,\"slidenav\":\"bottom-right\",\"slidenav_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"slidenav_hover\":false,\"slidenav_large\":true,\"slidenav_margin\":\"\",\"slidenav_outside_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"slidenav_outside_color\":\"\",\"slideshow_animation\":\"pull\",\"slideshow_autoplay_pause\":true,\"slideshow_box_decoration\":\"\",\"slideshow_box_shadow\":\"\",\"slideshow_height\":\"percent\",\"slideshow_kenburns\":\"\",\"slideshow_max_height\":\"\",\"slideshow_min_height\":\"500\",\"slideshow_velocity\":\"1.5\",\"text_align\":\"center\",\"thumbnav_height\":\"100\",\"thumbnav_nowrap\":true,\"thumbnav_svg_color\":\"emphasis\",\"thumbnav_width\":\"150\",\"title_color\":\"muted\",\"title_element\":\"h1\",\"title_margin\":\"remove\",\"title_style\":\"heading-xlarge\"},\"children\":[{\"name\":\"\",\"type\":\"slideshow_item\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"\",\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/main-header3.jpg\",\"link\":\"worship-and-music\\\/\",\"link_text\":\"Worship & Music\",\"meta\":\"ADVENT LUTHERAN CHURCH\",\"text_color\":\"light\",\"title\":\"Lifting in Praise \"}},{\"name\":\"\",\"type\":\"slideshow_item\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"\",\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sd-header401.png\",\"link\":\"spiritual-development\\\/\",\"link_text\":\"Spiritual Development\",\"meta\":\"ADVENT LUTHERAN CHURCH\",\"text_color\":\"light\",\"title\":\"Growing Together\"}},{\"name\":\"\",\"type\":\"slideshow_item\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"\",\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/loving-header-bw.jpg\",\"link\":\"outreach-and-support\\\/\",\"link_text\":\"Outreach & Support\",\"meta\":\"ADVENT LUTHERAN CHURCH\",\"text_color\":\"light\",\"title\":\"Loving Each Other\"}}]}]}],\"props\":{\"margin_remove_bottom\":false}},{\"type\":\"row\",\"props\":{\"column_gap\":\"large\",\"divider\":true,\"layout\":\"1-3,2-3\",\"margin\":\"default\",\"margin_remove_top\":false,\"row_gap\":\"large\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"media_overlay_gradient\":\"\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"width_medium\":\"1-3\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"text\",\"props\":{\"column_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"content\":\"\n\n<p><\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p style=\\\"font-size: 160%;\\\"><b><span style=\\\"color: #008080;

How do we re-engage with each other and the world?<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>This year, as we began to regather, church leadership decided it was time to define our values as a congregation. Members, council, and staff were all asked to reflect on the most important parts of our ministry together.

These three pieces, the reredos, altar and pulpit, are beautiful pieces that add to our worship each week. His mahogany wood sculpting is easily recognizable for its long, lean, flowing lines, as well as for its idiosyncratic uppercase lettering of Scripture passages. In the craft of an artist, Schwidder did not intend to produce lifelike images, but to design through wood carving and other media visual theological truth apropos to the church setting and ministry in which his work had been commissioned.<\\\/span><\\\/span><\\\/span><\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p><span class=\\\"wrapper\\\"><span class=\\\"content\\\" data-behavior=\\\"sortable_handle\\\"><span class=\\\"content_for_perma\\\">The body of Jesus on this cross is not dying - it is the risen Christ. His hands indicate a servant posture as he returns to serve the world, which is reflected in the circle behind the cross. The clouds at the top of the circle show Jesus \\\"coming on the clouds\\\" - this proclaims Jesus as the bridge between heaven and earth. There are 8 stars. The center star is the \\\"morning star\\\" from Revelation 2:28 heralding the dawn and representing resurrection. The other seven stars represent the Christian churches in Asian Minor from Revelation.
