Brilliant windows above the west entrance to our sanctuary welcome visitors and members alike. The discolored plexiglass that for years hid the bright colors in the stained glass has been replaced with sparkling clear glass. Carlinville Glass Cutters completed the painstaking work of fitting each piece of glass. They reported that “every angle was different.” After a seasoning period, Kirby Painting of Hillsboro painted the new window trim and the fascia. We thank the contractors for their hard work and the families of Robert Schmidt and David Bailey for the memorial gifts that funded this project.

Mt. Zion Lutheran Church happily returned to Heyen Lake on July 19. It was a beautiful summer Sunday for worship, fellowship, and a delicious meal. Even our web-footed friends enjoyed the day. Special thanks to the Heyen family for allowing us to worship there.
