CHURCH MURAL: A new church wanting to send a different message led to four large murals depicting biblical scenes being painted over when the building that once housed Saint David’s Episcopal Church became Redemption Church. Local artist Rick Olivo spent around two months more than a dozen years ago creating the 9-by-12-foot murals that resembled stained glass.
