Notes

Baptism Banner

Faye Fredericks, member of Georgetown Christian Reformed Church in Hudsonville, Michigan, designed this baptismal banner based on Deuteronomy 4:9 and 6:4, where parents are instructed to teach the truths of God to their children and to their children after them. The banner is constructed with solid colors of the rainbow for each figure. The figures represent the successive generations, beginning with purple at the bottom, moving through navy blue,

royal blue, green, yellow, orange, and ending at the top with red. The color of the drop of water in each figure is repeated from the figure below. The background color is sky blue, representing the water of baptism. The banner was made of poly/cotton and rayon, with each figure filled and quilted for a 3-D effect.
