Blue
is the color of Advent devotion. White,
is the color of God's gift of grace, Purple
is the color of Lenten remorse, Black,
is the color of death, without and
within. Gold
is the color of that glorious Easter
morn. Red
is the color of the fire of the Spirit Green
is the color of living and growing; Aqua
is the color of the Baptismal water, Yellow
is the color of the holy Gospel light. This
Mother's Day we gather here
Oh, how hearts fill with love and
emotion.
As we await our clear Savior's birth,
For Jesus comes near to dwell on the
earth.
Which is offered so freely to the whole
human race.
Christ's purity and holiness shine forth;
oh, so bright,
As we view our Redeemer that holy
Christmas night.
Of royalty and also of repentance, of
course.
Jesus our King hurries now on his way;
To Jerusalem He journeys without
delay.
Dark is the afternoon as dark as our
sin.
As Good Friday leaves us with guilt and
with loss,
We look with sadness and view Christ on
the cross.
When Jesus the Christ, Son of God, was
reborn.
That bright angel light shines forth in
the tomb
To tell us to end our sadness, our doom
and our gloom.
That burns within us; on Pentecost we hear
it;
How Christ's blood was shed so that we
might stand tall
His power poured out on the Church - on us
all.
The new life the Spirit among us is
sowing.
The Pentecost season helps us to
remember
The power of the Spirit burns within like
an ember.
Through which God makes us a son or a
daughter.
Three drops on our forehead remind us each
day,
The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are on
the way.
The radiance of Christ shines forth with
great might.
It lights our path through the darkness of
life,
As we view a world filled with sin and
strife.
To tell the story we hold so dear.
So wear this pin, our gift to you
Remembering Jesus all the year
through.
This is a safety pin with different colored beads
representing a color of the church year. It
resembles the "Friendship Pin" and was made by the
youth and given as a Mothers Day Gift. The pin
accompanies a beautiful poem that explains each
color and the church season it represents. It can
be used and distributed in a variety of ways from
Sunday School to individual groups. It's a perfect
way to learn and remember the seasons of the Church
Year!
