Here was the original graphic for the November Cover that I decided to put inside the newsletter instead. I had intended to contrast this with the picture that is currently on the cover, but there wasn't enough room. I also felt the cover should have a focus on Jesus, since He is the...

Here is the September Cover in progress for the Patience theme newsletter coming out in 2 weeks. I was trying to think of ways to visualize patience when Natalie suggested Communion. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me and the more I saw the intimate...
