The top two Stained Glass Windows featured on this site have just
been thoroughly cleaned and renovated by Midwestern Stained Glass
Studios. This work was done by master glass artisan, Doug Gammon,
and his crew in August of 2004. For the first time in 35 years,
these two windows, donated in 1905 by lumber baron R. A. Long, can now
be viewed from outside the sanctuary, on the street, in radiant color,
owing to Gammon’s
work and clear glass protective coverings. |

 Through
the generosity of Mr. R. A. Long, two of our stained glass windows were
commissioned from the Tiffany Studios in New York City. The Long
Memorial window was dedicated to Mr. Long’s parents and illustrates
Jesus’ appearance to Mary in the garden on Resurrection morning.
This year, the church and the Robert A. Long Foundation funded
restoration of both windows by Midwestern Stained Glass Windows.
For the first time in nearly thirty years, both commissioned windows can
now be brilliantly seen from outside the church building as well as
within. |

The “Rumble Memorial Window” was dedicated to our first
missionaries, and depicts Jesus holding a coin representing “give unto
Caesar what is Caesar’s”. The signed Tiffany windows are
original to the building and are dated 1905. These windows
remain
highly valued aesthetic enrichments to the church to this day.
