Several of the stained glass windows of the Mount Ayr Presbyterian Church were removed Tuesday. The windows will be reconditioned by a stained glass shop and then will be placed in the new United Baptist-Presbyterian Church being built west of Mount Ayr. The windows will be used in the interior of the new church building. The fate of the old Presbyterian church building has not been completely determined.
