There are many different sizes and shapes, which have been cut and fashioned by Frank Porter. Only a few are left. These items will be for sale in the Church Office.

REMNANTS OF THE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS The carefully removed stained glass from our church windows is now ready for those interested in acquiring a piece. Donations are asked ranging from $2.50 up to $50.00. The small broken scraps of glass are free with a donation of a prayer for our church. All proceeds will go toward the Building Fund. Please be generous. Susie Pierron, a local stained glass artist, can be contacted by individuals to design and construct memorial pieces if so desired. BE ADVISED for health (lead) and safety (glass) reasons everyone should use CAUTION when viewing and picking up the glass! All remaining glass is kept at the Old Parsonage.
