| Blue window features actual handprints of parishioners, plus a gold shepherd's crook (not a ? mark). | Closeup of handprints shows amazing texture and fine detail; these images were done first by dipping hands in paint, pressing them onto paper, then silk-screening images onto the glass. | John Mulkins installs a new section of clerestory window. | |

| Three windows installed in 2003,depicting scenes from John21. | The risen Lord, appearing to the apostles who, after fishing all night have empty nets. | Jesus feeding the apostles with bread and fish cooked on the fire on the beach. This passage conveys both the fact that this is Jesus glorified after the resurrection, but still the Jesus that they knew before his death. | The apostles come to Jesus with a full catch after doing what he said. |
