The structure is to represent a church window as it would be mounted and view from the outside of the church. The actual window sash was taken from the Central Baptist Church of Bearden in Knoxville TN. My parents were members of the church when it was undergoing renovation to the sanctuary in the 70's. Members were offered the windows if they would remove them. Dad called me asking if I was interested and got me four sashes like the one seen here plus one sash with an arched top. All sashes were glazed with an amber/white milky color of stained glass. I was able to salvage about 80% of the panes intact.
Thirty years later I took up stained glass design and construction. The windows had been stored in an old house that was soon to be torn down. Upon rescuing them again I decided to create stories based on Biblical stories in the Bible. Asking for God's guidance in all of my work I was sent the designs and glass to use to create the Week of Easter story. In each of the twelve panes a piece of the original glass was included in the works.
My goal is to witness God's wonderful greatness by allowing any church to use this creation in a ministry service. The individual images of each of the twelve panes can be supplied in JPEG format to be included with Power Point for wall projection.
This year Rich Acres Christian Church, Martinsville, VA, will be using this creation in part of their week long Easter program.

At present time I am working on a window that tells the story of the 23rd Psalm. God has guided me in the designing and choosing of glass. There are still 3 panes left to be created. When He shows me what to do they will be finished and the window will also be offered for use in ministry.
