Similar to decommissioning the American Flag once it is worn out, the church decommissions old paraments. The old paraments are burned during a very short “service” that includes a prayer and hymn. Click here to see our bulletin from our most recent decommissioning. This ritual is a sign of respect and honor for our church and Jesus Christ. On June 30 we decommissioned several of our old paraments.
