VIRGINIA---or nearly four decades, churchgoers have worshipped under the bright streams of light, patterns and religious figures in stained glass handcrafted by local artist Jerry A. Williams. Williams has mostly designed windows for small rural churches across the state, and has a studio in his Halifax Street home. One of his largest jobs locally is Harvest International Full Gospel Baptist Church on West Washington Street. Williams crafted and installed the stained glass for the 117,307 square foot church about 20 years ago. [link]
