Construction
Artist Priscilla Jackson, a
member of the church stained
glass window team, created
the design for the windows.
Poule d’Eau Kyle, a professional
stained glass artist, volunteered
with the team throughout.
Poule d’Eau created final designs
for each of the 6 windows based
on Priscilla Jackson’s work and
the scheme of church emblems,
shells and colors worked out by
the team. He taught team members techniques and skills needed
to work with stained glass. And
he did much of the finish work on
the windows. We are indebted
to Mr. Kyle for his selfless dedication to the project and the hundreds of hours he contributed.
