After months in the making, Whitworth Stained Glass was 
in Blackwell last week to install the new windows 
in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church. 
Whitworth Stained Glass is one of less than 85 studios in 
the United States to be accepted as a full-service accredited member 
of the Stained Glass Association of America.

Many area residents are probably familiar with Jack Whitworth's 
craftsmanship. He and his wife, Cindy, have 
designed windows for several churches in the area, including 
First United Methodist of Bronte and Pecan Baptist 
Church in west Coke County. 

In addition to the windows, members have made renovations 
to the Fellowship Hall and the Prayer Room. In thanksgiving, 
a huge dedication and celebration is planned for later in the fall. 
First United Methodist of Blackwell has been in existence for 
over 100 years, serving as a place of worship and  
a gathering place for the community.
