So what is different about these stoles and banners?
These stoles and banners aren't just cloth/felt shapes and text applied to banners/fabric with some fringe on the edges. What you receive is original, fine art created by the artist. With printed art, there are unlimited colors and we'll even print text in other languages at no additional charge, including Asian texts, Cyrillic, Greek and many other foreign fonts. For the most common languages, we'll even do brief translations. Please feel free to compare art work and prices by looking at Google: church banners or liturgical stoles.

What a joy it was to be greeted at the Waiola Church (United Church of Christ) on Maui with a chorus of ukuleles and hymn singing led by our old friend Kent Stewart. The sides of the church were entirely opened up to allow the Hawaiian breezes to blow through too.
At the beginning of the service we heard the wonderful story from "Auntie Penny" about Kahu (Pastor) Donald’s new ukulele, to replace the one that had “gone missing.” I saw that the story behind the gift was indeed a part of the gift. We had a wonderful service and afterwards received another gift from Alexa Vaught, their moderator, during the church’s weekly lunch-we heard stories of Hawaiian history, her family, culture, lore and personal reflections of the meaning of being Hawaiian.
This is the story of the stole that will be sent to the Waiola church along with this stole. I don’t think any of them know about this web site so let’s hope it stays a surprise.
One of the many things we learned while on Maui was that aloha has a wide range of meanings that go far beyond hello and goodbye. Aloha additionally incorporates the meanings and spirit of love, community, friendship, family, fellowship and an entire host of definitions that give rise to philosophy and way of life. “Live Aloha” was on the pin that our friend Kent Stewart gave us and told us that this was his wife’s dream when they moved there. So in memory of Patty and in honor of a way of life that is Christ like in the islands, gave rise to the words on the stole, “To live in Christ is to live Aloha.”
Above the words are the ocean, a warm sunset and a set of solitary footprints on the sand. When Kahu (Pastor) Donald asked the keiki (children) to come forward for the keiki moment he asked them what they were thankful for. We heard the words: family, friends, brothers, sisters and the ocean. (Indeed not what I expected to hear from elementary school children.) What a breath of hope I heard in those words. So the ocean is not only a gift from God but represents the children, their dreams and a sense of renewal of spirit that comes with every new wave upon the beach. I chose a sunset to reflect the warmth of the people and their willingness to share that with others. The solitary footsteps on the beach are to remind us that even in our moments of solitude, despair and need for healing that Christ carries us and enfolds us in His arms.
The flowers on the other side of the stole represent the traditional lei and welcoming of all people into the church and the family of God. The fringe on the bottom represents not only the people of the congregation but of the soft breezes blowing through the church. I saw that Kahu Donald wore a short stole and casual dress so I created this one to match the style of his other stole so he won’t need to wear long, hot robe under a regular length stole.
Thank you for the gifts that you gave us.
