Seasonal Church Banners

The significance of banners can be traced to multiple places in scripture, in Numbers 1 and 2 the children of Israel are instructed by the Lord to identify themselves with banners. In Isaiah they are used to signify the faithful that something significant is about to happen. In Numbers and in Deuteronomy fabric is used by the faithful to remind them who and whose they are.

Today, banners carry that same significance as they lend beauty to our worship spaces and aid us in lifting our hearts to God.

Recently we have completed two sets of Liturgical Banners for a church in Arlington, Virginia. There are many ways to deviate from the all too common felt-and-glue method of making litrugically significant banners.

These Penecostal Banners were designed in a way that included many layers of flowing material that allow for movement. The finished product brings to mind both wind and flame, symbols of the Holy Spirit as it moves in the presence of the congregation, grasping attention only to deflect it towards God.

The next set remained still, but still broke the mold in its design. Instead of using words to designate the season which it represents, a vibrant, organic design brings a strong organic presence to the interior of the Church. The glory of God that is found only in creation is present here even inside the Church.

We sent the banners to a local printer who applied our design to the fabric usiing a method called dye sublimation.
