Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf in Austin is doing some remodeling and 
we will have an opening in the wall where a small stained glass window 
would look real nice. However, since we can't justify spending the money 
on one, we were thinking that perhaps one of the many congregations in 
Texas might have one that was in a former building, a building that was 
sold or torn down, that is kept in storage because they have no place to 
put it. We are looking for something that is less than three feet wide 
(Yes, we are removing a door) and, preferably four feet tall, or less. 
Really, any size smaller than that is acceptable. If you know of a 
window that is waiting to see the light of day and is tired of being 
locked up in a dark, dank storage room, please contact Mark Seeger at 
Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf at MarkJLCD at AOL.com.
