SHINE Brochure has arrived!
I am so excited today— the SHINE brochures are finally here!!!! My staff and I have spent literally months laboring over the brochure and it is so fulfilling to see it finally finished! I am going to send a copy in the mail to every woman who attends our church. This will be the first time we have ever done that, but I really want you girls to be able to take your time looking over it and please-carefully read the content. Each year, when we design the SHINE brochure, it goes way beyond just cranking out a pretty piece of media. The words and images are all chosen carefully to convey a specific message to each woman that reads it.
One example is on page two where you will see a girl in a beautiful tulle skirt with lovely rings and bracelets lacing up a pair of black scruffy combat boots. This is a message that we are warriors who take up the challenge to bring salvation to our world, yet we always walk that out in a spirit of grace and in the unique strength that God has blessed us with as His daughters. The verse, “How beautiful are the feet that bring the good news. The good news of peace and salvation, the news that God reigns,” is placed alongside that image intentionally to remind us that we are in preparation for a journey to take the message out to a world that desperately needs the love of our Father. You don’t wear your fancy heels for such a journey because the road may be rough, but like all things that are precious, it is worth the cost in the end.
There are lots of little treasures hidden in the brochure. When you receive yours I hope you’ll take the time to sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy it. I believe you will be inspired and encouraged as you do.
Love you and can’t wait to see you in May!
Kerri
