St. Silas Banners

In the course of my travels I visited Our Savior in Muscatine (the post about that visit is here).  At Our Savior I met a woman named Marsha who designs and creates church banners and other ecclesiastical embroidery.  She offered to make St. Silas a banner and in e-mailing back and forth designed two for us, one with the name of the congregation and our red icon (pictured above), the second with an image of the Word and Sacraments (image by Tom Nelson at St. Paul's) and the congregation's mission statement (pictured below).

As you can see she does beautiful work.  She was able to take photos and turn them into embroidery patterns on her machine.  She dropped these by this week, just in time for us to use at our first service on Sunday.  If you are interested in contacting her regarding her embroidery and upholstery services, her e-mail address is mjsews71170@windstream.net and her phone number is 319-648-2626.

Marsha, thank you for giving us these banners.  We will put them to good use in our sanctuary and they will be a constant reminder of what happens for us in the Divine Service.

In Christ
