Out of the Rain

A solitary mother holding her child stands on a rain-swept sidewalk, looking toward a distant church sign across the wet roadside. Her coat and hat frame the scene with a vintage dignity, while the open space between her and the church suggests a moment of decision, need, and invitation. The image speaks to the church as a place of refuge for the weary, the vulnerable, and those seeking shelter in more than a physical storm. For ministry use, it fits themes of compassion, outreach, hospitality, single mothers, mercy ministry, and the call of Christ to welcome those who come burdened and exposed to hardship. by Review & Herald Publishing
