The RPC Banners ( designed by Karen Brodie )

www.brodiedesigns.com

Ideas for this design began forming immediately upon reading Richmond Presbyterian Church's mission statement and receiving ideas from the worship committee for portrayal of the Holy Spirit, the Burning Bush and symbols of growth and change. The first was a feeling of a world; an on-going circular image symbolic of God's unending love. Then the idea of the two doves (The Holy Spirit) came into being. One would be descending into the flames, while the other rising off the face of waters. On the right side is the Burning Bush: a fresh, green plant that stays green even through its burning. The flames reach high and form an image of Pentecost: the dove descending into the flames as the Holy Spirit. The left side is filled with a sense of hope and new growth, from the sun rising over the fields of wheat symbolic of the sacrament of communion) and the baptismal waters being poured out, to the green grasses and roots. In an attempt to put form to the struggles, joys, traditions and visions which make up this community of faith, this design resulted in two pieces which portray creation and revelation. This brings us back to God's unending love.
