Did you know that Moses is depicted with horns in our stained glass
windows? Did you know that we have a grasshopper in our sanctuary?
How about a Phoenix or why a Phoenix is often associated with the
life of Jesus? Did you know that Judas is depicted and that he has
no halo? Have you ever noticed the rainbow or that one side of the
windows is more complex and darker than the other? Why is the
Temple shown in phases and represented in three separate icons? Did
you know that one of the most respected stained glass studios in
the world designed and manufactured our windows? They left their
mark in one of our windows; do you know where? Did you know that
the windows were placed into their location over time as donors
were secured to pay for them? Have you ever noticed that the
stained glass windows are surrounded by clear glass and thus allow
for light to come into the sanctuary with beautiful tones and at
the same time allowing one to see outside? The content of the
windows, arranging for donors to pay for them and coordinating the
stain glass studio's iconography with the architectural design of
the construction company was all under the watchful eye of the then
Pastor of the First United Methodist Church Reverend Jim Thompson.
Reverend Thompson was truly the right man at the right time for our
church. This book is intended to be both illuminating and
instructional to the young and the old alike. For the adult each of
the figures in the windows has been isolated by digital
photography, their position delineated, and accompanied by a verse
representative of their biblical significance. One can quickly see
how the broad range of subject matter represented in our windows
could serve as a summer long Bible study. In regards to children
each figure has been rendered as an easily recognizable cartoon
that can be colored and thereby encourage an understanding of the
Old and New Testament and also our sanctuary's windows. One can
envision a youth Sunday school class sitting in the sanctuary
coloring the various figures being bathed by the light coming
through the stained glass as they use it for a template. Finally it
is hoped that this book will foster a better knowledge,
understanding and appreciation of our windows and in turn further
enhance the worship experience; a goal that Reverend Thompson so
passionately and diligently strove to achieve. John McHugh
