Beulah Hill Renovation: Stained Glass Windows Depict the Life of Christ

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.
