Banners
Symbolism is part of the creative process.
In creating a banner, the artist takes an idea and weaves the many images into a
design that is color balanced and meaningful. As the writer creates with
words, so the artist uses image, line, and color. Our banner group, with
guidance from Lynne Farrow, goes one step further as we, also base the banners
on scripture.
As you view the banners let them witness to
you, allow yourself to draw your own symbolisms. See how they speak to you as
they preach, teach and reach God's message to you.

Communion Banner |
|
The merlot color for the background represents the spilled blood of Christ. The grapes and the wheat make the wine and the bread used by Christ in the Last Supper. He took the bread and broke saying "This is my body broken for you. Take, eat and remember me." The chalice holds the fruit of the vine, the wine and Christ said "This is my blood poured out for the many. Take it. Drink it. Remember me."
This banner was donated by Barbara Baldwin in memory of her mother, Lucille Brown. |

Pentecost Banner |
|
When the day of Pentecost came, tongues of fire came down and when Jesus was baptized the Spirit of God descended like a dove.
This banner has the exciting fire, the empowering energy, the peacefulness of the dove and the all-emcompassing cycle between God and us.
This banner was donated by Les and Joyce Sawyer-Fryer. |
