Visit to St.David's Episcopal Church

Last week we took the #4 bus downtown to visit Rebecca at St. David's Episcopal Church. Jonas had requested we take a trip to see where his mom works, and since we often pass by St. David's on the bus, we too were curious about the historic building. 

In the small chapel room: Rebecca telling us about her job as a small groups and volunteer coordinator.

The church was built in 1853! 

There are 20 stained glass windows, each with their own story. 

The altar was built in the 1900s and is made of white Italian marble. 

Eleven of the stained glass windows are over 100 years old.

Jonas explaining the contemporary uses of Bethell Hall.

The meditation Labyrinth was exciting! 

Relaxing to the soothing sounds of the stone water feature.

Turns out there were tons of snails that made the water feature their home. They were fun to watch! 

Thank you Rebecca for having us visit such a beautiful building!
