I was wondering if the word "VISION" might bring in the idea of the dove as having a birds' eye view (above all bickering, not just boys bickering with a ball - too funny, BTW), but also the idea of thinking of the future for the next generations -- THEN, to me, anyway, there is a notion of stewardship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-41179705476853575112012-08-17T03:27:27.987-07:002012-08-17T03:27:27.987-07:00Julie I must confess that the dove does not stand ...Julie I must confess that the dove does not stand out to me - I had trouble finding it for a minute. But I do like the idea of adding words. In my church we use the words time, talent, prayer, service, support when pledging to join a church. Not sure if that helps. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-19758502609841523762012-08-16T08:29:43.149-07:002012-08-16T08:29:43.149-07:00hmmm... have to think about this one.

The above commenter was on target with Time, Talent, Treasure. I get the "One in Spirt" and the dove... but then is the stewardship a call to the people to give to the church for missions, outreach, budget/tithing, etc., or the call to BE good stewards of all we have been given... which extends outside the visible church to our homes, workplace, community, etc. Also, like the idea of embroidery rather than applique. Just a thought. Sorry for the rambling.<br /><br />On a lighter note... had to LOL with the guys fighting over a ball. I thought is looked more like a bicycle / scooter. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-28289791024494345002012-08-16T07:09:27.917-07:002012-08-16T07:09:27.917-07:00Oh Julie, I'm sorry you're obliged to work...Oh Julie, I'm sorry you're obliged to work on this project without any input or conviction that it is right, you are wonderful to even attempt it in those circumstances and I am sure you will make a wonderful job of it - you couldn't not with your skill and dedication. I actually like the design but, like you, can't connect it specifically with stewardship. Could you add the words Time, Talent and Treasure? I'm sure you don't want to applique or embroider a long verse!Lis Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700965811840448266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-40238318452091205052012-08-15T10:13:00.549-07:002012-08-15T10:13:00.549-07:00Always fun to not be included in the decisions, bu...Always fun to not be included in the decisions, but I see you have come up with a better solution to the design and still kept with the original theme. Any words or thoughts I can think of would be more like a verse. Can you do stitchery on it, with a saying? <br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-34496198007746542052012-08-15T07:03:39.169-07:002012-08-15T07:03:39.169-07:00So - what is stewardship?

Then people use the nice thing once a week for church purposes and say it is stewardship. You must know what it really is if you've made an annual banner...?!juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591920483149775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-54409771436930853272012-08-15T06:02:16.735-07:002012-08-15T06:02:16.735-07:00I think you are brave to tackle it!!
