The light of the world – Jesus said, “I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” — John 8:12
Christ Episcopal Church
I have spent a lot of time doing voluntary work for the church. I also spent a fair bit of time there – whether helping out or attending services. Not to mention my EFM (Education for Ministry) classes.

Altar and Stained Glass – This morning I had a meeting at Christ Church. When it was over I went to find pictures to accompany evening prayers.

There’s something very serene about the view across the darkened church from the sacristy door. It made a nice change for me to be taking pictures in the church just for myself rather than for some official diocesan or church event.
