 Dear Lord God, we celebrate Jesus’ life through the art of our stained glass windows. You speak to us through the beautiful windows that remind us of his miraculous birth, to his knocking at the door of our hearts, to his gentle shepherding through our lives and his triumphant resurrection at the tomb on Easter. He was the king with the thorny crown, the light of the world, and king of our lives today. We re-consecrate the historic windows that let in your glorious light and witness to the world our faith, and joy in living for Christ. Dear Lord God, we celebrate Jesus’ life through the art of our stained glass windows.
