Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. --- Philippians 4: 5-6 |

Both remind us of our PURPOSE of growing in our understanding of and willingness to participate in the global ministries of the church. The shape is fluid and free-flowing, suggesting change and mobility. The woman who came before us, serving the church at home & in other countries, were at the forefront of movements for change.
