The sculpture, by artist Gary Gavit, depicting a father with his children, was created entirely from parts salvaged from the safe door removed during the 2019-2020 renovation of this building.
The pieces in this sculpture were once used to keep your money safe as a bank, later used to keep your property safe as an insurance company, and now are reminding us that our life is eternally safe in our Father's arms as we hold fast to Jesus.
