Our worship spaces will be enhanced this Advent season by new paraments! In the sanctuary new paraments for the lectern and pulpit use new purple fabric to symbolize the season. Also, a new "frontal" for the communion table is in place. This frontal will also act as a banner in the fellowship hall during FirstLight worship. A theme running through our Advent worship is based on the ancient "O Antiphons." These sung responses form the basis of the hymn, "O come, O come, Emmanuel." The frontal/banner includes images representative of the stanzas of the old hymn. Based on a concept by Mike Barker, Fred Barkley has created a wonderful design that includes "bonus" visual references. See if you can identify them! Many thanks are due to those who helped bring the idea and design to life: Hilda Hobson, Martha Jane Peterson, Sara LeVan and Jane Reeves. Art on the cover of our worship guides this season will be drawn from the frontal/banner.
