The top medallion of the right window shows Timothy with his mother, Eunice, and grandmother, Lois, and portrays the influence of the good heritage of the mother and grandmother upon the life of the child. (II TIMOTHY 1:5)
The oval medallion in the right window shows Jesus blessing the children of various nationalities. (MATTHEW 19:14)
The predella in the right window portrays the mighty Naaman's captive Israelite maid as she suggests that her God could cure him of his leprosy. In the background, the great captain is shown bathing in the muddy waters of the River Jordan, as directed by Elisha, the prophet of the Lord. (II KINGS 5:1 - 15)
The windows in the Children's Chapel, presented by Mr. Clay Doss, are in memory of his son.

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
