With the remodel of the sanctuary, one of our plans was to have a cable-pulley system that can be used to hang liturgical art projects from. I copied the idea from one at Our Saviour's, where I would be in charge of lowering and raising the advent wreath each week. So I asked my dad to make two big hexagons that attach to a carabiner. He came up with the idea of using old pew wood, and made two of these. Right now one is hanging with Epiphany stars that the preschoolers made. They can be for Pentecost doves, Christmas garland, anything we want to make and hang and not have to get up on a lift.
So big thanks to Rev. Paul Hammar for constructing the hexagons. Big Thanks to Laura Tanem-Hernandez and the kids for making the stars, and the help from the Preschool Advisory Board in hanging them up.

Vase-Making for Lent
This lent we’re following a theme of “wilderness” throughout our mid-week services, and our sermons. In preparation, we put together all these vases (based on an idea from sanctifiedart.org) to place in front of the sanctuary for the Lenten season.
To build them we had a lunch after the second service, and then had a little liturgy where we would read a poem, based on the idea for each part of the vases, complete that part, and read again and so on.
All ages were there, kids through seniors, and we made some really cool additions to our sanctuary. A big thanks to the liturgical arts team for all the work of hunting down all the supplies, especially finding all those big vases at thrift stores.
