Days of Creation


Stained Glass Windows

Small Sanctuary

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. And God said: "Let there be light." And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness God called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning, one day."
-Genesis, Book 1 Chapter 1

So begins the story of creation, one of the most stirring and universally familiar passages of the Pentateuch. The story inspired David and Michelle Plachte-Zuieback to create the windows of our Small Sanctuary in September 2000. We welcome you to take this opportunity to learn about the windows, shown below. The artists wrote the synopsis for each window, and the photographs are courtesy of CBI member Rob Capon.
