Vandalised stained glass windows at the First United Methodist Church in Salt Lake City spark a restoration project with community support.
A historic church in Salt Lake City is asking for the public's help in restoring its stained glass windows. It comes after a rock was thrown through one of its windows in February. Five sections of stained glass windows paint the First United Methodist Church in Salt Lake City. The building was built in 1906. They're original to the building, and so they're a very important part of not only our worship but being able to have a place of peace and sanctity.
While there is never a good time for vandalism, in this case, it did lead to a good outcome. It launched the much-needed project to restore the historical stained glass. The work is scheduled to start at the top of the new year. Working from the inside out, the restoration project includes cleaning up the windows, helping preserve the lead, and sprucing up the woodwork around the windows
