The Millennium Banner at Weoley Hill Church was designed and its production coordinated by Fay Harris and Sheila Kelly, with the assistance of Tom Arthur and Deborah Moriaty.

The basic image is a Cross, set in rainbow colours, surrounded by images of the contemporary culture of the year 2000, the last year of the 20th century.
The Cross itself is constructed of traditional Christian images, beginning with a Trinitarian motif with the Holy Spirit at the top, the Cross of Jesus in the centre and, just below the cross, the Burning Bush, an image of the presence of God in Hebrew Scripture. The burning bush is also, for Christians, a symbol of resurrection.
 

Next is an image of the Church, which in this case is our own Weoley Hill United Reformed Church, and at the bottom is the Alpha and Omega of the Book of Revelation, chapter 1.

The arms of the cross depict the Church's two sacraments, the Lord's Supper and Baptism.
