Deeper Life Retreat logo

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly" Matthew 11:28-30 The Message.

This is the theme for our Deeper Life Retreat. This is the logo I came up with. When I think of grace, I think of the Jars of Clay song "Grace" and that song personifies grace as something that can be poured... a liquid of some sorts. I think of blues and greens and fluidity. This retreat will be focused on the personal aspects of our Spiritual (i.e. The Holy Spirit) life. I have represented the Sacraments in my design, all connected with lines (of grace). I also wanted it to have a modern stained glass feel. Stained glass was used to illustrate the Bible in an illiterate society. the goblet/wine = Christ's blood,

the pitcher = baptism/water from Christ's side,

and wheat= Christ's body broken for us

Rhythms of Grace = Rhythms in our relationship with God.
