"…They called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith..."
(Acts 14:27)
THE LOGO
The Boat, which is the Church;
The Mast of the Boat is a Cross;
The Trigram of Christ (IHS) is the Sails;
and The circle in the back is the Sun.
The Eucharist is represented by the association of Trigram of Christ and the Sun.
O God our Father,in Jesus Christ You call us Christians
to be signs of living faith.
By the light of the Holy Spirit,
lead us to be thankful for the gift of faith,
and by that gift
may we grow in our relationship with Jesus, Your Son, and be courageous witnesses of Christian hope and joy in today’s world.
In this Year of Faith,
help us to grow
to be united but not closed;
humble but not fearful;
simple but not naïve;
thoughtful but not domineering;
contemporary but not superficial,
respectful of others, but boldly your disciples.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
AMEN.

"The 'door of faith' (Acts14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into the life of communion with God and offering entry into his Church."
