The Creation Tapestries

Mr. Michael Rumsey has been a church member for over six decades, as well as our organist for the past fifty years.

Michael, an expert embroiderer as well as musician, spent over one full year making six beautiful tapestries.
Each one depicts an impression of the days of the Creation, inspired by the powerful, poetic and moving passages from Genesis, the first book of the Bible.

The works have been framed and are on permanent display around the walls of the church. You are welcome to come and admire them. See the Services, Regular Events and Special Events pages to find out when the Church is open.

Day 4. God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the heavens to separate day from night, and let them serve as both for festivals and for seasons and for years. Let them also shine in the heavens to give light on earth." So it was; God made two great lights, the greater to govern the day and the lesser to govern the night: He also made the stars. God put these lights in the vault of the heavens to give light on earth, to govern day and night, and to separate light from darkness; and God saw it was good. Evening came, and morning came, the fourth day.
