Christian Symbols

Symbols can be powerful images that remind us of ideas or invoke memories. Today during the combined elementary Sunday School class we explored the symbols of our Christian heritage around our church and learned how we can use these symbols as we pray.

We took a field trip to our sanctuary to find many beautiful symbols incorporated into the design of this church including a crown, fleur-des-lis, the alpha and omega, a heart, and a dove. We talked about the stories in the pictures painted on the stained glass windows and discovered crosses all around the room, even a huge Maltese cross on the ceiling! Each one of these symbols is a reminder of God, our Lord and Savior.

We praise and thank God for this beautiful church filled with symbols to remind us of His goodness and greatness.
