Weaving for Worship
From the earliest days of the Israelite Tabernacle, textiles have been an important part of worship, reflecting
the care and devotion of the artisan, and enhancing the worship experience for the officiant and the congregation.

For Christian Clergy
For the ordinary days -
the not-short-enough days of winter
and the dragging days of summer,
Green to remember that our Shepherd
will provide fresh pastures to nourish us and still, cool waters to refresh us.
For the days of wind and of fire –
Red to energize, to sound the alarm –
be ready for the gifts of the Spirit!
For the days of anticipation –
Royal purple - you have been called by the High King to be His steward,
and to lead His people
in preparation for His coming.
For the days of exaltation –
White for the blazing light of the star
and the angels at the tomb –
He is with us!
For all the days, the grace to say:
“This is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice and be glad in it!
