Hi Sylvan,
 
Thanks so much for sending this.  I'll be sure to pass it on to Patrick for his comments when he gets back next week.  As for me, I think this is fabulous that you're stepping out in faith and moving forward in this project.  I think that more of us should follow your example and take ownership of the various necessary projects and ministries, as after all, we are the church-- we're the body.  We are supposed to be doing things.  There is far too much waiting for a committee of who knows what to direct us --and thus nothing gets done.
 
I started working on logo ideas back with Pastor Jeff and again with Pastor Doug.  It never got anywhere, however.  Probably too many variations and choices...?  Who knows?  So I really like how you have narrowed it down to three.  Personally, I like #2.  It is clean and contemporary.  I like that it shows a vineyard-- and not the product of the vineyard.  It makes me think of the work being done. 
 
What is your next step in this? 
 
On the note of a motto-- I can see what you're saying about our current one.  I guess when you say something long enough you don't think of translating it to others...  But what you came up with is good.
Keep up the GREAT work, and please let me know how I can help.  You are so appreciated, Sylvan!
 
In His love,
Renee
