Back home, at St. Matthew Lutheran Church!
800 North New Road, Waco, Texas 10 am
June program: Prayer flags
Prayer
flags/banners have been around for thousands of years, but today’s artists are putting their
own spin on the ancient tradition. A growing number of people are using these small
but meaningful flags as an outlet for expressing their hopes, and the design
possibilities are endless. It essentially begins with an INTENTION that can be expressed in a
meaningful word, phrase, or image. We will be creating two things:
As a group, we are creating a banner for St. Matthew
Lutheran Church as a reuniting gift that can be hung in their foyer. Each
person will write a WORD or MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE on one flag portion in the
hand that they prefer. You can use markers, colored pencils, or watercolor.
Individually, you will use cardstock to begin creating the
shape of your individual flag pieces. Lisa will have banner templates on hand
for you to use. For your individual flag you are welcome to embellish your
pieces as you wish and as time allows. Some prayer flags are made with fabric
and can be placed outside on display in your garden! They bring added beauty to
any environment.
If you have any questions prior to our gathering in June, please
