On August 24, we completed our Banner for Ordinary Time
We had crews making leaves...
...and some making fruit
and some flowers and birds
Here's all the fibers laid out
Now it's time to get to work.
First we had to carefully cover it so the fibers would stay in place

mash all the air out
pour on water and start rubbing
and rubbing
 |
| a truly hands-on project |
all ages got involved in the rubbing
and now it's time to roll
 |
| Each little section had to be rolled - hard! - for as long as it takes to sing one verse of "Michael rowed the boat ashore" |
roll and rub and wring out the excess water
now the other way
 |
| Get your back into it! |
time to wring and squeeze
Now the fun part - throwing!
it's a safe way to get out all your aggression :)
drum roll please...
Ta-da! The felted banner
We dedicated the banner on August 31, 2014 during worship. We pray that its beauty may enhance our worship.
