The craftsman who relocated these windows arranged them in chronological and devotional order.
From left to right:
1. MOSES the Lawgiver
2. The HOLY FAMILY
3. DORCAS - Full of Good Works and Charity

Moses, the only Old Testament figure depicted in the church's glass, represents the Old Covenant.
Dorcas, one of the early Christians living in Joppa (Acts 9:36ff), represents the New Covenant of Grace.

In the centre is part of a window showing the Holy Family. Joseph has been removed to another window group. Here Jesus is depicted as a boy with his mother, Mary. It is because of his Good News that we no longer live under the Law but under Grace.
