St. John's Stained Glass

There is no finer reflection of the sun's light than when through the stained glassed images of His many blessings. At St. John's these expressions represent the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Communion, Marriage, Healing, and Reconciliation, as well as others. The stained glass windows serve to beautify our Sanctuary, and to remind each of us in the congregation of the inner grace achieved through Faith.

The digital pictures below were taken not only to preserve these images, but to share the simple beauty of the glass with all who are interested. Although the pictures on this page are reduced in size to facilitate faster viewing online, you can click on each individual image to view them in higher resolution. We hope you enjoy this tour of our stained glass!

Descriptions

It is relatively easy to understand the message of each window of stained glass simply by looking at them. However, to truly know their meaning it is useful to have an explanation of each window and its contents. The file below, created by Terry Ertel, details specifics about each image, their meaning, and related Bible excerpts. It is intended to be printed on 8.5" x 14" page (legal size), double-sided, and then folded in the middle. Prints are also available at our church office.
