Due to COVID-19, I felt that something had to be done for our church. Our future church should know that we experienced this pandemic as part of our history. I decided to make a banner which would always be in view as a reminder. With some help, I started the banner last summer, and it was hung in time for Advent Sunday 2020.
The dark blue background represents the darkness of the pandemic. The yellow border represents light, which will be when the pandemic is over.
On top is COVID 19 and under the world is the word pandemic in Hebrew, 2020. Then on the bottom is a Scripture verse from Rev. 21: 5, “Behold, I make all things new.”
There is a deep message in this banner, and it truly gave me joy making it. I want to thank a dear friend who helped and the men who climbed the ladder to hang it.
Blessings,
