“Divine Light: Stained Glass and the Church”
The Light of God can transform us and reveal new beauties, just as colors glow throughout the church as the light passes through its windows. Join Aliyah Kennedy on February 7, 14, 21 and 28 for the Faith Formation series, Divine Light: Stained Glass and the Church, which will be available on the church website Sundays by 9 a.m. This series will reveal the history and process of making stained glass. We will piece together the meanings found within the windows of Lakewood Presbyterian Church and those of historical European cathedrals. In medieval churches, the Bible was brought to life through sculpture and glass. Before the common person could read or have access to the scriptures, their first encounter might have been through the images illuminated in the windows of the church. Window makers and architects drew meaning not only from the images depicted in the glass, but also in the use of the glass itself. Take time with us this February to reflect on how God’s light shines through us as we study the beautiful windows of our church.
