Though Beulah Hill's original sanctuary windows
have served well for over a half century, the
reaction to the new stained-glass windows has
been overwhelmingly positive. Here's a brief
pictorial overview of this portion of the renovation.
The original sanctuary windows. Before the church was air-conditioned these windows had crank-handles for opening. |
The work crew first had to remove the old windows and frames. |
The old sections are carefully set aside. |
This is a last nostalgic look at the new sanctuary with the old windows. |
With the old window removed, this was my view from the organ. Very nice view, but not very practical for all weather. |
The "big picture" view shows a hive of activity involving several workers and tasks. |
The first new window is set in place. |
There is no room for error or haste in this work. |
One complete side of the building was completed in the first day of labor. |
The windows look wonderful from the outside, but must be viewed from within for full appreciation. |
Each window depicts foundational events in the life of Christ. |
The Nativity |
The Sermon on the Mount |
As the final phase of the renovated sanctuary, these windows complete a wonderful transformation. |
In the next post, you'll see the old steeple
removed and the new one raised, including videos.
Soon, an additional blog will be posted
with all ten stained-glass windows and the
scriptures that reference them.
