As the heart is to a person so a Celtic church is to a community. And it has.. 1. A heart for God – sustained by daily prayer. 2. A heart for others – hospitality and friendship. 3. A heart for the world – cherishing the earth and society

Holistic – it seeks whole persons and a whole world Earthed – in creation and the soil of its local society Rhythmic – daily and seasonal rhytms of prayer and work Open – to Christ in every person Star HERO

Celtic Cross Heart: Its heart is the dwelling of the Three Loves in God’s heart, the Trinity where the church makes it home. Base: it is earthed in Scripture and saints, seasons and soil, the environment and the population. Top: Praise, devotion, contemplation, heaven. Left arm: We become one with Christ giving his life to serve the world. Right arm: We become one with Christ giving his life to save the world.

Celtic Cross i Spokes: connecting to focal points of the wider church and society Spaces: for re-creation, fun, solitude. Circle: the whole of life. Making persons, places and the world whole.
