The month that was.
Stained Glass Window illumination after Sunset
One ornamental feature that impresses us all, and the cynosure of all visiting
our Church, is the Magnificent Stained Glass Window. This 25 ft. Stained
Glass above the Altar, is a careful fusion of 15 panels into one, created by
Scottish artist Alex Ballantine and his assistant, Gardiner, to commemorate
the diamond jubilee of the reign of Queen Victoria, in the year 1897. This
beautiful Stained Glass Window of Patriarchs - Abraham and Moses, King
David - the Psalmist, and the prophet Isaiah; the Apostles - Andrew, Peter,
Paul and John; Alpha and Omega on the top panel above the 'Burning Bush',
and on top, our Lord Jesus, the Reigning King - all inscribed with pieces of
coloured glass fastened together, can now be seen at night as beautiful as
during the day.
For the first time, the Stained Glass Window has been illuminated on the
back-face, using flexible transparent chords fitted with LED lights. This
technology uses very little electricity and does not emit heat. We can now
enjoy our beautiful Stained Glass Window even after sunset!
This was a long pending project and we thank God for His providence.

Easter Play & Sunrise Service
The youth of St. Andrew's Church on the 1st of April put up a play for the
Sunrise Service on Easter morning with almost 250 congregation members
in attendance.
The play was about 5 detectives who are assigned to investigate the murder
of Jesus Christ. As they carry out the investigation, one question is
resounded in all the scenes, the one question they couldn't find the answer
for "Who are you?" As they move from evidence to evidence, they finally find
the answer to the question when they find the body of Jesus missing and the
guard who stood at the tomb spoke in fear saying, "We have wronged him, he
was the Son of God".
The play saw young and new talents from the Youth Fellowship coming
forward for the very first time. We appreciate the encouragement and support
of our pastor, Rev. Jessie Ranjan, Pastorate Committee and Congregation
members. See you soo..!
