The publication contains high quality pictures and history of all the windows in our church, You may purchase copies of the booklet in the church office, or directly from Julie. The price is $10.00, and the proceeds will be used to offset the cost of creating display cases for some of the windows that have been in storage. Make checks payable to Julie Hussar.
