Westminster Commons

The skylight area in Westminster Commons is home to some colorful and beautiful windows given in memory of long time and active members Dr. John and Virginia Lichty by their children. The windows were designed and installed by Charles Lawrence of C.Z. Lawrence Stained Glass in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The windows were designed to relate to Biblical texts and the lives of John and Virginia Lichty.

The stained glass windows in the Westminster Commons are the newest in the Montview Building complex and they were installed at the time of completion of the Westminster Commons in 1987. While it is easy to discern the differences in window construction and window design between the stained glass in the different sections of the church building, these differences are particularly notable when comparing the windows in the Westminster Commons (1987) with the much older windows in the East Wing (Heritage Center and Robinson Room) (1910).
