Blessed Savior Lutheran Church is a small country church in Blissfield, Michigan. They purchased the church about 5 years ago and had us restore their stained glass, which had received damage from vandals as it sat empty.
Unfortunately, vandals were at it again. The photo shown here is one of the window openings after all work was completed. In my blog, you will find additional information about the latest repair efforts.
Matching the colors of the glass, the glass paint, and the style of the original artist always makes repair/restoration work a challenge.
Many churches run into similar issues with vandalism. Although this church did have protective covering on the outside of the stained glass, these vandals worked diligently until they broke through that covering and through rocks through the stained glass. Hopefully, as we drive by beautiful buildings like this and see things that don't look quite right, we will call the authorities and possibly eliminate the need for repairs like this.
