Brief Description of Subject: This is the "Children's Window". At the top is an image of Jesus riding into Jerusalem with the words "Hosanna in the Highest." There are people with palms, and Jesus reaching out to a child.

Underneath is a picture of Jesus with children from different parts of the world, and the statement "Let the children come unto me." (Matthew 19:14). Directly under is a baby chick hatching out of its egg.

Next is a teacher surrounded by children of different nationalities, all of them with books in their hands. On one side of the teacher is our denominational symbol, and on the other is a picture of a globe. Under that is the statement "You shall teach them diligently to your children" (Deuteronomy 6:7). Underneath is an image of a lamp above an open book.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
