I like the colors that you used.

Looks like something you'd make for a Broadway musical production (that's a compliment if you couldn't tell).

Very nice work!

I'll offer a couple criticisms because your work is worth it and you asked... : ) I think the crooked borders detract a little bit. The straight borders on the black welcome piece look so much better. Maybe you were trying to bring some energy, but I think the clean, squared off presentation of the type, and the bordered space provide a nice field (great color choices) for the active silhouettes. So I wish the borders were more harmonious. I love the concept of Jesus being present in the activities, wherever 2-3 are gathered in My name... but the graphic translation... I kept seeing the beard as a surgical mask... the robes then wanted to become surgical covering.. Just looking at small web images... it may be different to see in person at a regular viewing distance. Certainly wasn't a problem to "reading" the illustrations, but it kept pulling my mind off on that tangent.

Overall I think a very strong concept, nice typography, design, color, illustration.

Thanks for your feed back guys, and esp you pixelpusher (im guessing your in the graphic design field aswell?)
Now that u point that out it cant stop giggling at the thought of Jesus wearing a surgical mask and robe haha.

Yeah, I've been doing this stuff for the last 20 years, 14 as senior art director in an ad agency. I am a big fan of several designers, Michael Schwab and Paula Scher among them, and your work seems to share influences from both of them.

Very nice Jemz20. Beyond your very nice work, I noted that it is unlikely that any active member of that church will ever go hungry!

Thanks Tall timbers! hahaha, yeah we like food :P

@Pixelpusher, thats awesome! i would love to see some of your work if u have a site going?
I am currently doing illustration and album designs for "Esther Melody Band" whom are about to set out for America very early in Feb with their new Album "edge of time". They are a Christian Band and are in partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators.. So im working quite hard on that at the moment, if i could get feed back on the work in the following month or two, would be great!
Also I have just started up a facebook and twitter too if you guys like to see more up coming work.
