Hard at Work
The project is moving right along! Even though yesterday was blisteringly hot, we made some good progress. Check out the photos bellow to see what is happening!

Colorsmith gave us a sneak peak at how to paint glass and mimic Elmslie's original technique.

As some of you may have noticed, the windows on the east side of the church have slowly been coming out. The masons have started to put in the new stone frames!
