Ideas For Congregation

Prayer Banner

Jan Gustafson (First, Gladstone) made the prayer banner as described on the ELCA website www.elca.org/prayer/resources/prayerbanner.html. The banner is used in worship and in the prayer chapel.

You can make your own banner for your congregation! providing a drawing of the banner and giving directions on creating your own banner.
