Project Update
It's with joy that we announce that the Stained Glass committee has chosen the stained glass artist to design and build our new Sanctuary windows. The sketches, shown in a mock-up version above, are available to view at the church. See the slideshow below of individual window sketches.
We look forward as a church community to this visual representation of the story of Christ our King! Thanks to generous donors, we have substantial seed money to proceed with ordering the handmade glass. A fundraising campaign is underway to fully fund the project.
The anticipated timeline is to finalize sketches by the end of June, order the glass, and begin construction in phases to be completed, hopefully, by Thanksgiving. As a gift of worship to our Lord, we hope to unite around this happy project. To that end, we are looking not only to joyfully fund this project through our giving, but to engage with it, perhaps through small-group visits to the artist’s studio. If you have any questions about the project, please speak with Pastor Morris.

Action Points
1. Have a look - please take a few moments to view the sketches and familiarize yourself with the details of the project. Each window is a unique montage reflecting various stories within our Lord's life and ministry, with elements that run through the series of windows.
2. Pray - please pray for creative inspiration and blessings upon all hearts, hands, and minds involved. Pray for wisdom in all decisions, that we would be joyfully united in our purposes, and that the entire process, provision to performance, will be directed by God for His glory.
3. Consider - as you pray, consider how you might engage with and support this project. Your thoughtful comments and your prayers are welcome. We also need your help to raise the funds still required. We are currently accepting donations - pick up a blue envelope at the church - and donations may be given in honor of loved ones. There is no hierarchy of contributions, we are in this together! Thank you for being prayerful and open to the Lord's leading.
