So I think I ended up volunteering for something new down at the church -- which is probably the last thing I need to be doing, given the "busy" and all that. But it should be relatively quick, not too fraught with politics, and a fun bit of community-building: creating a Cafepress page for the parish.

Of course, I'm sure there will be as-yet-unresolved conflicts between the "new logo" people and the "old logo" people. The old logo was a stylized sheep next to running waters. The new logo shows our church steeple in front of the mountains (which is a particularly nice view we get of it driving down Dry Creek). The new logo came about with our new web page, stationary, etc., and has much to advise it as a logo and all that good thing. That said, the old logo has a lot of nostalgia with it, and many of the old-timers seem to prefer it.

Nobody's actually brought the two groups into conflict as yet -- but I'm sure if we end up with a just-new-logo web page, someone will raise the question. And if we do two connected stores, then there will be those who wonder why we're watering down the "brand" with both, and whether it promotes divisions within the congregation ...

When given the opportunity to argue about stuff, Episcopalians seem to be great leaders.

Hmmmm ...

On the other hand, doing a Cafepress thang would be fun (contention over logos aside), and, once set up, minimum effort to keep up. Just the sort of volunteering I like to do! And, honestly, if we can get over the (probably hyperbolized) conflicty bits, I think people will really like it. And we can make a small amount of money to be used for good things, too.

Why does the sheep have a targeting reticle on its rump?

Heh.

It's a youth ministry outreach ...

Thank you Avo, I too was confused by the targeting reticle on the Lamb, I Was thinking it was FPS involving tasty animals. ;P

"Lamb -- too cute for words, not too cute to eat!"
