Our banner group is:
You are very welcome to come along Bill, our architect volunteered his lovely wife, Izzy to come along and talk to us about her experience as a member of their church’s ‘Banner Group’. She encouraged us to get cracking on the creation of our very own masterpiece. ---------------------------- |

Firstly, we needed to come up with a design. I thought it might be good
to design something based on our very own disciple, St Philip. What
did St Philip famously do or say? We got our bibles out to check. We
really liked the text of Philip’s challenging words spoken in Chapter
14 of John’s Gospel - “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough
for us.” With this project being our first attempt, we decided to
shorten this to ‘Show Us The Father’. We then agreed that a depiction
of our hand reaching out for our Father’s comforting hand would be an
apt representation of this phrase. Once we decided on appropriate
colours in co-ordination with our new church décor, the material and
the font for the lettering, we were ready to go. |
Our beautiful, complete St Philip’s Banner was hung on display in its purpose-built recess just in time for Alan to dedicate it during our Easter Sunday 2017 service. We’re very proud of our achievement for a first go. As well as producing something beautiful, the fellowship we enjoyed has been second to none. We’re a mixture of ladies who didn’t necessarily know each other before but we’ve shared many laughs and some tears along the way and now I believe that we’re firm friends.
The Banner Group is currently making craft items to raise funds
for our 2022 Building Project. There will be a sales table in
church. |
