The seeds of faith are sown in the human personality and grow into the mature
faith of the Christian man or woman. The sown seed must lose its life in order
that it may develop and grow and multiply. So, symbolically, a sheaf of wheat
is used by Christians to mark the passing of a fellow Christian.
Death is not the end but the beginning of life eternal. The mature grain in the
sheaf is the direct symbol of the Resurrection - - - the life beyond the grave,
the fulfillment of the Promises of Jesus Christ.
We have incorporated the sheaf of wheat into our logo to remind us of Life
Eternal paid for with the blood of Jesus Christ.
