Our church recently voted to embrace "Going deeper in Christ and further in mission" as our statement of response. With
John 15:5 as a foundational verse, one of our pastors thought the image of a tree with roots and branches would help visually communicate our desire to remain in Jesus, going deeper in our spirituality and walk with God, while we also bear much fruit, going further in the mission that God has for us. So I created this image, which is now on the cover of our bulletins, incorporating our church logo in the bottom right corner (which I did not create). I had fun doing it, and as I worked on those little details on the roots, I found that I was praying for my own roots to go down deeper in the love of Christ!
