GROOME CHURCH
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
Most churches have stained
glass windows of varying degrees of beauty and craftmanship
with biblical scenes but at
the Groome United Methodist Church in Lewes, Delaware there is a
distinct local touch.
That is a nautical
atmosphere in keeping with Lewes; ancient ties to the nearby
Atlantic
Ocean and the towns
headquarters for the pilots which take ocean going ships up the
Delaware
River to Phildelphia.
Groome Church is 75 years
ld and the stained glass windows were recently restored. One
of the nautical scenes
depicts a lighthouse keeper headed for his station on the Breakwater,
another
shows the Overfalls
Lightship, once a beacon at sea for passing ships.
