A busy morning at Smoky St. Stephen's as our latest stained glass windows were installed above the Narthex doors. Designed by our very own Gin Templeton and installed by the Michael Orchard Studio in Fargo, the so-called Baptism Window (because it overlooks our baptistery) was given in loving memory of parishioner Leon Gelinske , nicknamed "Rooster" (hence the rooster in the lower corner) by his family and friends. Like the other Mondrian-inspired windows Gin designed for our midcentury church, this one is also a votive window in gratitude for our parish's resilience during the Covid pandemic (see the little Covid symbol also). It is a truly stunning addition to our building. And just in time for it to be blessed and dedicated for our Dedication Sunday on September 11.
