Connection was the name given to the second-service at the First United Methodist Church in Warrensburg, MO. They wanted a visual representation of a connection with mission, heart and members.
The Dogwood tree has strong Christian symbolism.
The Dogwood is also the official Missouri State tree. I felt this to be a great place to start when developing the logo. You can see the logotype, as well as a few of the graphic pieces I designed for this service.
