Art at Saint John the Baptist
  

An Altar Canopy, or baldachin, is often used in large spaces to lend intimacy to the Altar area. Our baldachin is a memorial to Herbert C Greenfield and Helen C Greenfield, parents of
Fr. Bob Greenfield, our first rector.
 

The Crucifix icon over the main Altar was a gift to the Parish Church from Sue Jensen, in thanksgiving and for the glory of God. It was written by Sherry Bettendorf  (Lynch) who had been commissioned by Sue. At Sherry's invitation Sue participated by adding some of the lettering. This made the gift  particularly personal. The design was, to a large extent, detailed by Fr. Roy Coulter.
 

The three sculptures, high on the south wall, were sculpted by Lynne Kiefer Kobylecky.
 

An icon of St. John the Baptist was commissioned in the spring of 1977 by Mrs. Sarita Sandham and her sister, Mrs. Ester Freeman, in memory of their parents Jose and Monserrate Balzac Riera.
This was written by Sherry Bettendorf (Lynch) and is one of her earlier icons.
It hangs on the wall of the Gospel side of the Lady Chapel. The icon is a copy of a 15th century Serbian prototype.
 

The Virgin and Child ("The Virgin of the Sign") was written in 1978 by noted iconographer
Fr. John Walsted, OHC, and given by him in memory of  his mother, Clair Walsted.
It is on the wall of the Epistle side of the Lady Chapel. The lamp  hanging over it was brought back by Dean Greenfield from his visit to the Holy Land in 1979.

   
Man 'O War was created by noted artist and longtime parishioner, John Waddingham.
It was presented to the Rector, by his wife, Joan
Waddingham.
The top portion of the stained glass window behind the Altar was donated to St. Helen's Hall.
At one point it was removed, stolen and recovered. It was created by Albert Gerlach.

The lower portion of the stained glass window was also created by Albert Gerlach, 50 years after completing the top portion.
