About the Artwork
There are stained glass windows in both the sanctuary and the chapel. The sanctuary windows have traditional stained glass design, while the chapel windows are more contemporary. In the sanctuary two rose windows - one above the alter and one above the balcony - are complemented by 20 round clerestory windows depicting symbols of the apostles on the other side. The chapel windows, installed in 1980, were designed by Rudy Nobis and made of Blenko glass from West Virginia.
Did you know?
A stained glass window which won a fine arts prize at the 1876 Centinial Exhibition in Philadelphia was dismantled and stored under a bed in an Orange County home for years before being reassembled and placed in Reeves Memorial Methodist Church over 100 years after it was created.
