LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County artist Ray Farrow created decoupage art with original 1898 cedar shingles from the recent reshingling of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Lakeport.

Farrow also framed unique photos of the church’s historical building located at the corner of Clearlake Ave. and North Forbes Street.

He hoped his art would help defray costs for last month’s exterior restoration of St. John’s 115-year-old, west-facing wall.

The decoupage shingles are available for a suggested donation of $50; large framed photos for $25; medium-size framed photos for $20; and small-framed photos for $10.

All are now available at St. John’s on Sunday mornings and will be available during upcoming Wednesday noon concerts on Dec. 4, 11, and 18 at the church.

St. John’s building became a Lake County point of historical interest by California Historical Resources Commission in 1989.

In 2012, it earned an Award of Recognition for restoration and preservation by the California Heritage Council, California Trust for Historic Preservation.

All are welcome at 10 a.m. Sunday services, 1190 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
