Old Stone Church Lights Up East Haven

The church's new steeple lights help enhance the downtown corridor's festive holiday feel.

East Haven's is shining a light on East Haven's holiday spirit this season.

The church, which sits at the corner of High and Main streets downtown, recently installed a series of colored lights that illuminate the building's steeple after dark.

The lights officially came online Dec. 4. Since then, every night at 6 p.m., the steeple puts on a little "light show," changing colors every few seconds for about five minutes.

As she plated dishes for the congregation's monthly pasta dinner Friday night, Old Stone Church's pastor the Rev. Karen Gronback Johnson told East Haven Patch the light show will continue every night at 6 p.m. until Christmas.

After that, the steeple will be illuminated by white lights, unless an activity or event at the church provides an opportunity to do otherwise.

(Editor's note: Pastor Karen was unable to talk at length tonight about the steeple lights, their history and the project in general. So, keep an eye out for a future update about the churchs project!)
