The Presbyterian banners are 3 feet by 6 feet. Two of them.
The parish banners, once Sr. Hildegard showed me with a tape measure, are kinda bigger than that. Like 3 feet by 9 feet, each. Four of them. Thank goodness they are simple. 108 square feet. Time to get a move on.
But Lynn, in her one act of defiance or whatever, said, "That's not really long enough."
I looked at her.
"I'd say 15 feet at least."
Hildegard was heading down from the choir loft. I shook my head at Lynn. "Nah, there's the advent wreath there, too, and it'll run into it."
"I hope they're paying you for these."
I just shrug. I'm sure I could make demands. But that just wouldn't seem right to me. I mean, it's my parish. I don't want to become simply a contractor. It would change it for me. It would make it an obligation.
