Sanctuary preparations for Christmas Eve


Epiphany

For 2008, the unusual occurence of "The Epiphany of the Lord" coinciding with Sunday worship prompted a new transformation of the sanctuary. The gold silk streamers from Christmas were overlaid with slightly narrower purple silk streamers, while leaving the gold gauze hanging as a backdrop. A purple runner joined the gold runner from Christmas on the Table. Worship was introduced by processing a chest of "gold," a ceramic urn of "myrrh," and a ceramic tray filled with sand and "frankincense." White flowers were used as an accent in front of the pulpit, with white poinsettias strategically adorning spots around the chancel.
