Ever since the sanctuary was constructed in 1956, some members of Bethany have dreamed of having stained glass windows. The windows were installed in August, 2006.
Each window has a colored border, with the central part made
up of geometric shapes of different types of glass. In the upper part of
each window is an etched symbol, designed by Bethany member R. V. James. Bethany's consulting
designer, Deb Harvey, did the layout of the geometric designs, using
the windows in the chapel (designed by Mary Lybarger and her
daughter) as her guide. The windows were crafted and installed by
Light Haus and their representative, Bonnie Shaw.
