A set of three memorial windows designed by Peter Haworth, a Toronto stained glass artist, were dedicated in St. Paul's United Church (formerly St. Paul's Presbyterian Church) on Sunday, October 10, 1948. The congregation joined the United Church in 1925 and became St. Paul's United Church. The windows were destroyed in the fire that razed the church on Sunday, August 11, 1963.

The left window depicts the Angel of Faith who accompanied the ascended Christ to Heaven and the music of heavenly harps. It was donated in memory of Wallace “Wally” Lang. After the fire, his brother, Don Lang, searched through the rubble in the area where the chancel had been and was able to locate the bronze plaque that was mounted on the wall underneath this window donated in memory of his brother. This plaque is still in possession of the Lang family.

The center window was donated by the congregation in memory of the nine men from the church who died while serving in the Second World War. The right window was donated in memory of Oiler Ross Edward Stevens.
