A New Methodist Logo

Christmas Sunday, Dec. 21, after morning service, our congregation gathered outside the front of our church for the completion of the latest step in enhancing our current facility.   Not long after Pastor Kelvin arrived, Mike Madry had the idea to put a new United Methodist emblem on our church.   The Council considered the idea and decided to purchase a model made by Viscardi Designs.   The trustees under the leadership of Harrison Griffin ordered the sign and with coordination by Robert Loomis, arranged for it to be mounted.   Pastor Kelvin Jones wrote the prayer of dedication and led the congregation in it as they stood outside in the new fallen snow.

The Dedication Prayer

Pastor:  Our Heavenly Father, We’re thankful today for this symbol of our faith.

People:   May its presence encourage our faith.

Pastor:   Its cross reminds us of the sacrifice of our Savior for us.

People:   And of the life of unselfishness to which he calls us.

Pastor:   Its flame reminds us of Pentecost when God sent his Holy Spirit to indwell his church.

People:   God desires that our lives be filled and empowered by his holy presence through the Holy Spirit.

Pastor:   This symbol also reminds us of our heritage as a part of the United Methodist Church. Its combination of emphasis upon vital religion that warms the heart and good deeds that serve the community helps us live out our faith today.

People:   We give thanks today especially for our denomination and we pray for it.

Pastor:     But we do not put up this symbol for ourselves, but as a part of our witness for you to our community.   May it tell others who pass by that this is a place where the Good News of Jesus Christ is proclaimed, where the sacraments of Christian faith are administered, and where broken lives are healed in Jesus’ love.

People:   May other people remember when they see this symbol that the people who worship here love God and love their neighbors too.

Unison: We dedicate this sign to you as a token of our love and commitment and we ask you to use it to draws others to yourself. We pray in Jesus’ name, AMEN.
