New Song's Mission
To invite all to know Christ, celebrate God's presence, and be Christ's body in the world.

About Our Logo

Our new logo features the Soaring Bird, singing our new song, symbolizing spirit, its wings spread wide to enfold all ages, all colors, all manner of people . . .

and the Flowing Water, symbolizing the blessings of water in baptism whereby all in God's world can become members of one family through Christ and the Spirit . . .

Here's how the New Songer who worked with the graphic designer to create the logo describes its creation:

"The concepts of celebration, music, song, movement of spirit, openness, and outstretched hands were combined in the bird. When I look at it, I see The Holy Spirit and each of our spirits (combined in one bird!) in the midst of happy flight and song, with hands/wings stretched open to embrace all. The blue shading and wave below carry the motion (emotion) through the words 'New Song Episcopal Church,' tying it all together.

"The blue and the wave also symbolize water, which moves through the church via each individual's baptismal covenant. When I see the blue and the wave, I think of our font in the very center of our worship together; I see the Greve family gently anointing each other; I see our children dipping their hands in the font; I see the unique beauty in the way each individual pours water to begin our time together each Sunday . . . ."
