Crowned Screen

Jason Mertz from Cornerstone Christian Church in Shiloh, Illinois brings us this crown blocking their screen.

To create this giant crown, they took dollar store pool noodles and wove them together. They connected each end with duct tape and added paper thorns (that were formed into cones). They painted it all red, then hung it from four points in front of their screen. This provided an angle and a nice silhouette of the cross when it was backlit.

    That’s cool (it really is!) – but I’m curious what you did with the long table down the middle? Was that communion? Was it used for other things as well?

    • Jason Mertz says:

      The long tables were just for our Good Friday services. We used it for communion. We had other long tables running down the side aisles as well. We had everyone leave their seats and gather around the tables “family style” for communion.

    I would also like to know the answer to this. I’ve tried counting from the picture but I can’t tell for sure.

    Did anyone get the answer to how many noodles were used? I’d like to know this answer too, please.
    Thank you and God bless!

      No one answered me mope. But we made our own and it was 7 foot across with 5 noodles in each loop.

        Did you stand it upright? Or hang it ?
        Im having a problem with ours wanting to fall or lean into itself. What’d you use to connect them together?
        Any pictures?

        • Mellodie Humbert says:

          We hung ours from the top of our stage. With rope. I don’t think I have the pic on my phone any more. Sorry
