My Ordination Logo - printed on my
ordination invite as well as Thanksgiving Card.

This logo symbolises my willingness to serve God,
and to be at his beck and call.
The guitar besides my liking for music, which is a means
to praise God as well as to bring people together
in joyous harmony - is also a self-offering to God.
(when it is held upright) The Quotation is from the
Book of the Prophet ISAIAH Chapter 6, verse 8.
