The new church window building of the reformed church in Beekbergen has been crowned with a large stained glass window. The new church has been christened Eben-Haëzer. “The Lord has guided us here.” The stained glass window, located in the large hallway, represents everything that is important and distinctive for the community in the Veluwe area. In the centre it shows the grey stone Eben-Haëzer. A brook ripples its way around it. Trees represent the forested area in the sloping landscape around the village. “The wide beam of yellow light shows that everything comes from heaven,” says Rev. A. Schreuder during the official opening of the church. EbenHaëzer, the Lord has guided us here. The design is by Mrs. A. van de Craats and the stained glass has been assembled and build by stained-glass atelier De Glazen Zee (The Glass Sea). The window consists of nine panels which form the large 2.5 by 6 meter window (approx. 8 by 20 ft.). The panels are build in layered, anti-reflexive, insulating glass.
