A group of Lehigh Presbytery women generously shared their time and talents, to provide us with a banner that will wave at GAs and presbytery meetings for years to come.

According to the creators, at the center one can find a cross, dove, and Communion table. Rays branch upwards from the cross. The colors represent the mountains, sky, and water.



At the June Presbytery meeting, the banner was dedicated by the following prayer: 

     Holy One, you alone are our banner, whose name we raise,
     who inspires us and cajoles us; it is you alone whom we declare
     among the nations and proclaim.  Our awe of you seeks expression
     in the creativity of lives lived for you, words spoken and sung,
     and in this gift of head and heart and hand:
               Christ’s cross before us as the life we must lead,
               and the Table by which he feeds us;
               your Spirit who makes it so;
               over mountains we must cross;
               in the waters of our baptism.
     We give you thanks for the energy, intelligence, imagination, and
     love given by Vickie Bowers, Mimi Haas, Janet Imdorf, Alicia
     Shussett, and Marie Weiss
               and ask that where this banner is raised high,
               you will be higher in our hearts all the more
               living as those crucified with Christ;
               empowered by your Spirit;
               patient and persevering in adversity;
               and admiring of the beauty in us
               and in the people and world around us
               as witnesses to the new creation that is ours
                    by your grace alone.
     It is by this same grace that we pray all of this, in the name of the
     Son and through the Spirit. Amen.
