We here at Providence -Fort Washington United Methodist Church are delighted  with our new logo which was designed by our very own member, Diane C. Day. The  Share  Committee  of  the  church worked together   to   come   up   with   a   motto  for  our  church and settled on “…growing in faith, hope and love.”  Diane then took that motto and designed the tree logo that you see on this website.  Both the motto and  the  logo  were  accepted by our Administrative  Council on 15 March, 2007.  This  logo  is  copyright © 2007 - 2009 Diane C. Day.

Deep purple represents Advent and Lent

Bright red represents Pentecost

Green represents Ordinary Time

Gold (or white) represents the color of Easter

Our Loggo and Motto

through opportunities for  worship, education, fellowship,  and service.  The multi colors of the leaves on the tree indicate the welcome we extend to all persons, just as Jesus welcomed all who came to him.  We decided on the red, green, purple, and gold colors for the leaves because they correspond to the symbolic colors of the church seasons.  The seasons of Advent and Lent are represented by deep purple which indicates both sorrow and royalty. Bright red is the color for Pentecost which reminds us of the gift of the Holy Spirit which “appeared  as tongues  of fire”  (Acts 2).   Ordinary  Time  is represented  by  green  as  the  color  of growth and new life. Gold  (or  white)  is  the  color  of  Easter  standing  for extravagant  celebration as  the church  rejoices  in  the resurrection of Christ.

The  image  of  the  tree  calls  to  mind  both  the  enduring quality of faith and the vitality of new growth.   We see our church as place where all persons are welcome to increase growth. We see our  church   as  a  place  where  all  persons  are  welcome  to  increase  in   faith,  hope   and  love
