The CityLove mission team and numerous volunteers painted a mural behind the Salvation Army in Trinity Square. Designed and directed by Katherine Gosnell, the mural is titled, “On Earth as It Is in Heaven.” Its plant life imagery is a symbol for flourishing in the Southside neighborhood, with the stars as a symbol for God weaving through the fabric of urban life to help it flourish.
