we are the soil


we are the soil
we are the sower;
we are the ones
who must believe

we are the hope
the seed sharers;
we are the harvest
at the end of the age

we are the workers, the wheat – v8


We are the workers,
serving the Kingdom,
sharing Christ’s message
out in the world;
We are the wheat,
ready for harvest,
the ripe fields ready,
waiting for our God.

Sitting in the fields, the vineyards,
growing where we are planted
sowing seeds, fruit
of the Kingdom, of God;
Sharing the message
where we are planted,
being God’s light
out in the world.

sitting in the fields
the interior tin wall of
Stetson Memorial United Methodist Church
are shafts of wheat;
the crown molding top of the walls
are the heads of the wheat.
&
On the walls of the sanctuary, you will see names of saints who have gone before us in the stained glass but you will also see vertical stalks all around us. The tinsmiths put these there to remind us we are to the wheat ripe for harvest, ready to be gathered in by God. Look toward the ceilings, the heads of the wheat are ready. There are also sections of the wall and ceiling where we see the shape of vines, as we are connected in the vine. There are places on the ceiling that have the number 7 for perfection, the number 12 for the tribe of Israel and the number 40 for the forty days, the forty years, etc. There is the shape of shepherd staffs on either side of the Good Shepherd stained glass. There is an arch like the shape of the dome leading us into the chancel.
