In addition to the three homes
on the tour, this year Lincoln Christian Church offered a
guided tour of its stained-glass windows. Pastor Ron Otto was
on hand in the sanctuary to talk about the windows and share stories
with guests.
From the tour brochure:
Welcome to the newly
remodeled sanctuary of Lincoln Christian Church. On December 5,
1954, the building of bricks and Bedford stone was dedicated. One of
the special features of the sanctuary , then and now, is the stained
glass windows of the nave, each carrying a message to those who
worship here. On the right, the “I Ams” of Jesus are symbolized in
glass. On the left, His entire life is symbolized including the
following events: The Incarnation, The Nativity, His Early Life, His
Baptism, The Atonement , The Resurrection, His Victory, The Church,
Rock of Ages, and A "Mighty Fortress. The large window at the front
of the church is The large window at the front of the church is 28
feet high, and the glass is fully encased in stone. The three
circles at the top carry the symbols of the Godhead: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. Just below them are the symbols of the four evangelists
— Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – with the busts of the four
evangelists below each. They tell the story of redemption (John
20:30-31).
