Six colors which appear on chancel hangings suggest six salient themes for preaching in the Advent and Christmas seasons. H. Michael Nehls has drawn on familiar colors for this series of object lessons and sermons. Each object lesson includes the use of a colored ribbon that is given to the child to wear; those who are present for six messages will have the entire ribbon rainbow pinned to their clothing the last time. The messages to be shared with the congregation include:

• Green, the color of Life
  
• Purple, the color of Royalty
  
• Red, the color of Sacrifice
  
• Blue, the color of Eternity
  
• White, the color of Purity and Holiness
  
• Gold, the color of Wealth and Riches

H. Michael Nehls is pastor of St. Martin’s Lutheran Church, an ALC congregation in Archbold, Ohio. He is a graduate of Capital University and Trinity Lutheran Seminary, both in Columbus, Ohio.
