We are blessed to have the Stained Glass windows from two churches. The windows in the church are St. Lukes and were installed in the 1950's when the church was built. The windows in the walkway and the Parish Hall came from All Saints' and were installed in the 1970's. Some of our windows are signed originals by artists who are no longer with us. All of our windows are very valuable by today's standards. Regardless of their value, they add to the beauty of our worship.

Stained Glass windows are held together with lead. Over time, and with the heat of summer and the cold of winter the lead softens and repairs are required. While most of our windows need some repair, two windows are critical.

The Rose window (the large round window) at the back of the church is close to falling apart. You can see how it is bowed by standing below it and looking up. Since the window has no plexi-glass covers, if the window falls, it will break.

The second critical window is at the top of the stairs in the Parish Hall. That window is protected by plexi-glass and as pieces loosen, they slide down without breaking.

The Vestry trusts that the Capital Campaign will raise the $15,000 for the critical repairs and any additional funds will be used to repair as many windows as possible.

We have signed a contract with Whipple and the repairs will begin in May. The windows will be removed and totally restored during the next three months.

If you can contribute please send a pledge statement or a check clearly marked "Stained Glass"
