The Anticipation of Advent




By November of 2007, two additional members had joined the team (Kathy D. and Brooke S.) The group decided to create a set of evolving banners and paraments for the Advent season. Because of our short time frame and our need for a new set each week, it was decided to use a more “temporary” construction style, rather than choosing a method that involved extensive sewing and finish work. One idea considered was to hang strips of rough cut fabric, adding and subtracting various fabrics and colors as the season progressed. When the team realized that this idea dovetailed with the theological theme of Advent (moving from darkness to light, anticipating wholeness) this was the method selected. Kathy, using her quilting skills, created three stoles and a pulpit cloth to coordinate with the banners.
