Deerfield’s Stained Glass Coffeehouse Closing

The eight-year-old Stained Glass Coffeehouse, located in the Congregational Church in Deerfield, is closing next month, according to a post on the concert venue's Facebook page.

The coffeehouse’s founder, senior pastor Blair Hull, is moving to California, and with her goes the knowledge and drive to run the intimate concert venue, according to an article in TribLocal. She has been at the church for 19 years.

Hull started the coffeehouse after hearing a band in a church during a trip to Ireland and deciding that she could replicate that in Deerfield, the TribLocal article says.

There will be a final farewell concert Aug. 16. It will be free and people are encouraged to bring food to share, according to the Facebook page.
