STAINED GLASS WINDOWS IN OUR CHURCH

There are fifteen windows at the back top wall of our Church (just turn around and look back, up the wall). We are thinking of beautifying the windows with stained glasses. Think of something special you can offer “Our Baby Jesus” this Christmas as an individual or as a family. Also, as we have come to the end of 2016 and are now about to enter 2017, how can we thank God for all His blessings and grace given to "me/you" in this 2016 that is about to end, and how can we, individually or as a family recommit ourselves to God’s guidance, protection and love this 2017? I have a suggestion for you. Why not think of paying for one stained glass window either in full or in part as your gift to “Our Baby Jesus” this Christmas and as a renewal of your commitment to God in thanksgiving to Him for all the blessings received in 2016 and for His continued protection in 2017? This indeed will be a wonderful birthday gift to Him and a thoughtful recommitment gift of love to the Lord. If you want to be part of this awesome project, let us know by contacting me or the parish office with your contact details. What we need at the moment is the expression of interest. The costing/price for each stained glass window will be communicated later on. May God bless you as we continue to work together in God’s vineyard. It is well with you!
