First Christian Church of Cuyahoga Falls

THE RED CHALICE

     The Red Chalice with the St. Andrew’s Cross are the symbol of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), adopted by the church’s 1971 General Assembly. It is a registered trademark with the U. S. Patent Office.

     The chalice points to the centrality of the Lord’s Supper in the life and worship of the Disciples.

     The Cross of St. Andrew, national cross of Scotland, focuses attention on the Presbyterian roots of the Disciples. St. Andrew has been identified with the laity and with evangelism, both of which have been prominent Disciples’ emphases.

     The color red signifies vitality, spirit and sacrifice.

The Prayer Of The Chalice

Father, to thee I raise my whole being, a vessel
emptied of self. Accept, Lord, this my emptiness,
and so fill me with Thyself -- Thy light, Thy
love, Thy life -- that these precious gifts
may radiate through me and over-
flow the chalice of my heart into
the hearts of all with whom I
come in contact this day,
revealing unto them
the beauty of
Thy joy
and
wholeness
and
the
serenity
of Thy peace
which nothing can destroy.
