GROOME CHURCH STAINED GLASS WINDOWS


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.
