2009...To Create
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me"
Psalm 51:10
The cross is the central structure of the kite and is the center of creating a relationship with God through the redeeming love
of Jesus. Creating means keeping a fresh perspective and looking with new eyes at programs, needs and resources.
|
2010...To Carry
"“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”"
Acts 1:8
The power of the Holy Spirit carries us up as the wind carries the kite, and, as we seek God’s will and guidance, God’s mission
becomes our mission. We are called to communicate, challenge and stretch ourselves for more. Staying the same loses ground.
|
2011...To Connect
"“May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him,
through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”"
Hebrews 13:20-21
The power of the Holy Spirit carries us up as the wind carries the kite, and, as we seek God’s will and guidance, God’s mission
becomes our mission. We are called to communicate, challenge and stretch ourselves for more. Staying the same loses ground.

2012...To Continue
"Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live,
you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you"
John 14:19-20
The kite’s tail gives balance to the kite and allows it to continue to fly even as the wind takes it in different directions.
As we seek balance in serving God we must continue to prepare and enable others to proclaim the good news of salvation, mercy, and
justice in word and deed.
