LOGO needed for a Church's Small Group Ministry called "Connect"

"Connect" (the small group ministry of Grace Church, Lititz, PA)

Grace Church is an innovative, fast-growing church with 1,700+ in weekly attendence. We are not the traditional church but rather more creative and outward reaching. We strive to make a difference in our community.

Our Connect Ministry is our Small Group ministry. The mission statement is:
Connect people more intimately to God; Connect believers together as the church; Connect the church to the mission of God in the world.

We are looking for a logo to emcompass this CONNECTING action.

We really want to connect with the unchurched population of our community as well as our current believers.

Our Connect Ministry is for everyone- church-goers and those who don't attend, families, singles, young and old, male and female.

We are looking for a fresh, creative logo that is simple but well-defined.

Include the word "CONNECT" only - possibly a symbol, but doesn't have to have one.

Use vivid, earthy colors, - greens, browns, yellows, blues, oranges, lighter and darker colors. Creative and fresh design.

Represents "connecting"

Logo will work with different backgrounds and different items- t-shirts, letterhead, etc.

We don't want grungy, cheesy or churchy designs- prefer to stay away from traditional church symbols- doves, crosses, praying hands, etc. We are reaching a huge variety of people.
