the heavens are telling

getting started

the whole gathering

ready to be hung

sky full of stars

sky full of stars2

TIME: one and a half hours, after worship

USE: revisiting an upcycling project in a new way, congregants gathered for a Christmas in August worship service, hearing afresh familiar readings out of their traditional context and then continuing into a time of community creating; before the beginning of Advent, their stars were suspended overhead in the sanctuary, making them part of the nativity story as they point to the front of the sanctuary

MEDIA: poster board, recycled cards, glue, paint pens, floral wire, electrical wire

PARTICIPANTS: ages 8-89
