Emblem-The Church Wall
Look there,do you see the wall of red brick
          each upon the other:
            leans with great care.

One joined evenly next to the other
           bonded together in
           equality:

Participating in their purposes
          combining ,each their strengths
          the load to share:

Weathered with the storms of life on its face
           enduring through
           eternity:
