So sad
One of the stained glass windows in the entrance way is in honor of my wife's grandparents, Stanley (Hobart) and Helen Hopper. Has anyone seen the actual damage? I hadn't realized the other leaded glass in the main sanctuary had plexiglass protection on the outside. I thought only the two newer stained glass panels that are in the old tower (now narthex, I guess) of the church had it. I'm concerned that the windows broken were the stained glass ones. Anyone know for sure? Thanks.
Also, I've oftened worried that the chapel was left unlocked during the summer, but have loved that we could hike up with the kids, let them ring the bell, and occasionally climb the stairs to the lookout tower. It'd be a shame if this caused the Chapel to be locked down when services weren't going on.
A lot of people put time, energy and love into maintaining the chapel and its surrounding grounds. Takes only a miscreant or two to damage such a beautiful place. While I'd love to see the culprits caught and punished, I'm more interesting in making sure the proper repairs are done asap. If anyone has a contact looking for funds to assist in this, please post it or e-mail me. I'd be happy to contribute.
