New Name

 

As churches do these days, my church is changing its name.  This coming Sunday will be the last service as Cincinnati Mennonite Fellowship.  

This banner was made about twenty years ago by a lovely woman named Amy, with help from the congregation's children.  She was more brave than I am and helped the children use bleach to "paint" the designs.

Those children are adults now, and Amy lives in a different city, but it seemed fitting that their banner by hung for the service.  

After Sunday, the church will be known as City Peace Church.  There will be an outdoor service  on October 5, with the first in-church service under the new name on October 12.  Maybe I can make a new banner by then, maybe not, we'll see.  I'm hopeful that there will be at least something simple.

Oh, and about the name, there will be a formal subtitle, making it City Peace Church:  A Congregation of Mennonite Church USA
