NAMI Walk - September 23, 10-4pm @ Minnehaha Park or Your Chosen Location

Mental health is a serious issue. As a church, we can help support those dealing with the struggles, alienation, and difficulty finding support. One way is to show your support by participating in the NAMI Walk!
Join the Presbytery's Presbyterian Walk & Roll team and the Valley Walkers of Valley Community to support those dealing with mental health issues!  Please support the event by joining or donating to the Presbyterian Walk & Roll team, or create your own! Walk & Roll T-shirts are available!
Participants are welcome to walk in their own neighborhood, if that is preferred.
Check out the Presbyterian Walk & Roll team site.  For more info or T-Shirts, contact Rev. Stephanie Friant, Disability Concerns Ministry, text/call 815-592-3207

Teachers/administrators/pastors welcome to learn more about this essential process!

Presenting: Our new logo!

We have a new logo!
Thank you to Erin D. for leading session through and keeping our feet to the fire, and to graphic designer Selena Koosman for creating something wonderful that captures the heart of LNPC beautifully.

Here's what we love about this logo:
The cross is in the space in between, just like the presence of Christ and the faith that holds us. As we like to say, "We meet Jesus who is with and for us, when we are with and for each other." It's also a picture of "assuming the stance of least resistance" - living with openness, and cultivating openness to God and one another. There is no boundary around the outside, and no lines dividing in between - the shapes and colors are different and the image is formed by all of them pulled together. It's a visual representation of  "whenever we gather together, God meets us". There is a feel of stained glass - broken and beautiful, with light shining through, and the shapes feel organic and natural, not rigid or perfect.  It nods to the Celtic cross on our building, and in our previous logo, without being a replica. We come as different people to create a beautifully colorful community, and encounter God in the energy in between. This logo depicts that.

What else do you notice? What do you love about it?
