It’s Advent, which means we’re rapidly preparing for the birth of Jesus … by collecting diapers and formula for our neighbors at Crossroads of Michigan!

O Judge of the nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Grant that we may not rest until all the people of this land share the benefits of true freedom and gladly accept its disciplines. Amen, and thank you to every veteran! We are forever grateful. #service #sacrifice #courage #armedforces #army #navy #airforce #marines #veterans #veteransday #honorroll #thankyou

About today’s altar flowers, floral iconographer

About today’s altar flowers, floral iconographer Richard Thomas writes, “Rich purple Calicarpa japonica berries are in season for a short time in October. Inspired by the genius of a certain Japanese artist, I decided to try massing the berries in an arrangement. Massing the berries involves stripping leaves while leaving the berries intact on the stem, but cutting the stem into 2” segments. It takes about 5-7 segments per square inch. It’s easily 4,000 cuts for a wreath this size, and this was a discipline of about 6 hours of concentrated effort. The Bittersweet is from the same part of the Asia and also in season now. The chromatic opposites of purple and orange provide energetic contrast. The honey colored moth orchids (Phaelenopsis, also Asian) carry a blend of both colors. There is a texture similarity between the massed berries and the tesserae (stone and glass tiles) of the mural in the reredos (screen behind the high altar). The Bittersweet vines fling their sprays widely, unchecked, and perhaps balance the tightly grouped and contained Calicarpa. Intense and repetitive actions like this building process take on a prayer-like devotion for me…Preparing floral offerings can provide a meditative process that requires patience, commitment, insight, and determination to find or create the design. Like life, the way may seem familiar after a while, but the journey requires persistence and conscious faith to keep on track.” Thank you, Richard! @scs_richardsrambles #calicarpa #bittersweet #orchid #wreath #floral #floralicon #floraliconography #prayer #meditation #patience #beauty #october #octoberindetroit #autumnindetroit #autumn #fall #detroitchurches #churchesofdetroit #flowerchurch #episcopal #welcome
