Banner Series

 

Our church's Banner Making Group has been busy creating a series of banners for use in the Worship Place.  Banners are an aid to worship and significant reminders of the Gospel Story.  We now have seven banners, along with matching 'falls' for the lectern and music stand.

The Banners: The church’s liturgical year is made up of six major seasons - Advent (purple), Christmas (gold or white), Lent (purple), Easter Day (gold or white), Pentecost (red), and The Green Season.

A number of single Sunday celebrations fall within the major seasons - these include The Annunciation of the Lord, The Baptism of Jesus, Ascension Day, Trinity Sunday, All Saints Day and Christ the King.

Each of these is for one Sunday only and the colour of each is white.  This poses the question “How many white banners do we really need or 'want'?

Our white banner is designed to include several of these celebrations – they include The Baptism of Jesus, The rising sun depicting Christ’s resurrection, and the ascending figure of Christ on Ascension Sunday.  

Taken as a whole this banner depicts the beginning, the climax and the end of Christ’s ministry on earth.
