What’s Up, Up There?
Most of you have seen the tiles from afar but now you can see some of them on the lower side roofs of the Church. I smile when I think that we looked at many tiles of varying colors and picked four distinct colors for the roof. Perhaps you have better eyes than I but aside from the ones that have a purple tone; the green ones all look very much the same. But...they are different.
