Our Logo

At Bethany, Jesus found a place to rest.  It was for him a place of love, where he felt at home among his friends. 

In the ministry logo, the heart which enfolds the women, speaks of a ministry founded in and embraced by the love of Christ for His beloved.  The gentle care and concern of one woman for another is expressed in a protective, sheltering posture - there is a sense of intimacy and unity between the women.  One woman reflects Mary: our healed and whole selves, filled with goodness, purity and gentleness - the other, each of us in our brokeness and pain. 

The droplets are sorrows and tears; they are Christ's blood shed by his sacrifice on the Cross; they are perfumed oil used for healing and burial.  As we invite Christ more deeply into our lives, we lay to rest our broken, wounded selves and we embrace healing and new life.

As our lives are transformed into the likeness of Christ, we are able to reach out in love to those around us.  We see that we do not live in isolation, but in intimate relationships of giving and receiving, of death and resurrection.
