Our Lenten preaching theme is "We were there," a series of sermons dealing with persons who related to Jesus in his final days. When the theme was announced in January, I immediately imagined a set of banners, one for each person. I had in mind a set we made in Richmond for Eastertide some years ago, a sort of silhouette effect. One church member drew the original artwork, other members did the painting (on fabric) and yet another finished each banner with a border and yet another prepared the banners for hanging (rods and cords). We're using the drawings as cover art for our worship guides on Sundays.
Here are the first two; we've colorized the background (from the original black/white) to reflect the fabric color of the finished banners. Above, the woman who anointed Jesus (Mark 14.3-9) and below, the slave who was injured in the garden (Luke 22.45-53). I'll post the others as we move through the season.
