The ReTreat at Dallas...the "T" in the logo says it all... it's about grace.
As I mentioned in my post Sunday night, we are excited to be planting a church. The name of the church is The Retreat at Dallas. A friend of mine has helped me create a logo and is working on a website for The Retreat.
The focal point of the logo is the letter "T". The "T" was designed to have each end of the cross bar extending out as a person would open their arms to someone. That part of the logo is very important to me. That represents Jesus with open arms, welcoming anyone... everyone... to find love and grace at The Retreat. It doesn't matter what you wear... come to The Retreat.
Your background isn't an issue... come to The Retreat.
Doesn't matter if you have made mistakes... come to The Retreat.
When you read the gospels, Jesus met the woman at the well in broad daylight and talked with her. He didn't care about her background. I don't either.
He told the woman caught in the act of adultery, "Go and sin no more." He didn't judge her.
Folks, Jesus was about love and grace. I don't know how we have missed this in the church but we are far, far too inclined to judge. We are ALL sinners saved by grace.
In the logo, Jesus has open arms inviting the world to come and find love and grace. That's what you are going to experience at The Retreat.
There is an old story that I can't remember verbatim but it goes something like this... a couple was looking for a church. They attended a church one Sunday and just as they sat down they heard the minister say something to the effect of "We have left undone that which we should have done and we have done that which we shouldn't have done."
Upon hearing the minister's words, the couple looked at one another and said "We have found our church."
That's what you will find at The Retreat... a group of people who are imperfect trying to serve a perfect Savior. Come join us.
