The Christian Flag - 100 years Old!

2007-07-26T07:28:00.000-07:00

The Christian Flag is 100 years old this year! Though the idea was conceived in 1897 by a Sunday School superintendent, the flag was not actually produced and marketed until 1907.

The rules of etiquette for displaying the Christian flag are:

At floor level, the Christian flag is placed to the right and front, of the congregation but outside of the communion railing.
Within the chancel, choir loft or communion railing, the Christian flag is placed to the right side of the altar, of the clergymen, and of the choir as they face the congregation.
When displayed with the American flag and/or other flags:
The American flag and other flags may be placed symmetrically on the opposite side of the sanctuary and on the same level as the Christian flag. It is also proper to place the Christian and national flags side-by-side wherever stationed in the church. The Christian flag is always placed to the right of all other flags and does not dip to any other flag.

PraiseBanners sells a wide variety of Christian Flags from outdoor flags, to podium sets, mini Christian Flags and classroom Christian flags.

For information on the origin, symbolism and use of the Christian Flag go to:

Banner Kits

2006-10-25T12:24:00.000-07:00

Are you interested in creating a banner for your church, but not sure where to begin? PraiseBanners offers an array of solutions, no matter what your skill level is. In addition to pre-made banners, we offer patterns and kits for most of our designs.

Patterns

For the real go-getter, PraiseBanners offers simply the pattern for your favorite banner design, image or alphabet and the rest is up to your imagination. This option is ideal for the banner committee who enjoys the communal aspect of picking out fabric and notions, but need inspiration for designs.

Patterns Include
-Detailed intstructions for banner construction
-Actual-size paper blueline pattern for cutting out design pieces
-In-depth black and white instructional art sheet for applying design, trim and other details
-Supplies list
-Overhead transparency

For more information about which designs are available as patterns, please click here to visit our hand-embellished banner gallery.

*Hint* Many customers will purchase one pattern for each font we offer and simply laminate the pattern, instead of having to re-purchase an alphabet pattern for each new banner. To view our available fonts and sizes, click here.

Kits

Kits are ideal for someone who does not want to spend valuable time shopping for banner supplies, but would still like to use their creative gifts to serve the church. Kits include: the pattern, fabric, trim, MiracleBond, and all of the supplies necessary to construct the banner. Clear MiracleBond will come pre-applied to your foreground images, saving you time. All of our kits are designed with our supplies in mind, so for anyone attempting to re-create one of our banners for the first time, we highly recommend a kit! For more information about which designs are available as a kit, please click here to visit our hand-embellished gallery.

Banner Care and Storage

2006-10-25T09:03:00.000-07:00

After you have invested the time and/or money in a banner, it is especially important to take proper care of your valuable investment.

Storage

Banners should never be folded. The best way to store them is to hang them on a rod and enclose them in a breathable cover (a cotton or cotton/poly blend works best). For multiple banners, a storage unit such as the Universal Hanging and Storage System is a great investment. For more information, click here.

If your space does not allow for hanging, the next best option is to roll up your banners in a tube with the front of the banner facing the inside to protect any embellishments. If your banner has a large amount of embellishments, you might want to consider a layer of acid-free tissue paper. There are many options available for storing rolled banners such as a hard-shell rolling storage case or a light-weight travel tote. For more information on these storage solutions, click here.

Whatever storage method is best for you, it is important to keep your banners in a dry place away from direct sunlight. It might be beneficial to appoint a person to be in charge of banner care. This would be a particularly good job for someone who wants to serve but does not feel they are gifted in sewing.

Cleaning

Due to the delicate nature of most banners, the only way to clean them is by dusting. Water and other wet chemicals can leave watermarks or even strip the color of the fabric. The most important part of cleaning your banner begins with preventing it from getting dirty by practicing proper storage.
