Baptismal Banner Committee

The Baptismal Banner Committee creates the banners given to each newly baptized person at Emmanuel.

Our committee cuts, sews and glues in order to assemble banners that are presented to those being baptized. It takes about four hours to assemble each banner. Each year twelve to fifteen banners are presented.

We hope the banner will be hung in the home of the newly baptized person and remind them and their family of when they were sealed by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ’s own forever.

Anyone interested in our project is eagerly welcomed. Please contact anyone on the committee and join us. No special skills are necessary. In 2005, 29 banners were made. As of July, 2006, we have made 15 banners. Since our beginning in 1999, we have created 175 banners.

The Hardman twins are Christ's own forever!

The Committee members enjoy their ministry and each other's company.
