The symbols which have come to represent who we are focus on healing, reconciliation, and community:
-
- A broken-made-whole chalice represents both the broken-made-whole life journey of Jesus, and the broken-made-wholeness that each of us continues to find as we join our own lives in community.
-
- A not-quite-round-table symbolizes both our goal to be a place of welcome to all people (a round table with room for all) and our confession that we often fail in our hope–(we are not quite round).
-
- A rainbow shalom candle both celebrates the diversity and wholeness of God’s creation and represents our commitment to choose hope rather than curse the darkness as we seek Gods shalom (peace and wholeness) together.
-
- A companioning wall of handprints reminds us both that Gods presence is made known to us through one another, and that following Jesus requires hands-on participation in healing the world.
-
- A remembering wall holds a hand-painted tile naming each of the 50+ companions in our community who have died of HIV/AIDS.
