*Ordinary Time*

This Sunday is the beginning of 'Ordinary time' in the liturgical church year.  If you want to know what that means, here's a link - ordinary time -and although my church happens to be Lutheran, the explanation still works :)  I went a little 'retro' this year and used some circles from a previous year- I look at them as seeds of faith. There's some vines, ribbons and leaves mixed in.  I started smaller too, because I want to make it grow every few weeks. You can also see our beautiful baptismal font that was made years ago by one of our members.  It sure looks different at 'ground level' than it does 30 feet up in the air!

Advent Part Two

I've got a new Liturgical Arts buddy! Someone who loves making things for the Lord as much as I do :)  She designed this from some Pinterest inspiration ( but of course, the Holy Spirit gets the most credit!) Since the hanging rod is wider, to accommodate other existing banners, we added lots of ribbon to the sides- it coordinates wonderfully with the big old "jellyfish" in the middle of the Sanctuary - see below.  So thankful for creative friends.
