Worship Banners/Paraments

During our interfaith services, we make use of banners and paraments (the cloth hanging from the podiums/lecterns, see below). While our paraments were designed for interfaith services, the banners are frequently borrowed from our United Methodist community. We are hoping to have some that would reflect the interfaith nature of our First Wednesdays in the Chapel service and other interfaith celebrations.

The chapel set up for the Interfaith Baccalaureate service, with banners and paraments.  

Submit your design ideas for worship banners or paraments for chapel. The top three designs will win awards.
