The Laborers with Christ Window - Sanctuary

The Laborers with Christ window was given to the church in 1947 in memory of Elmer H. Larue who gave his life in the service of his country.

Matthew 11:28 serves as the setting of the window:  "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

The head of Christ is backed by a setting sun against which is visible three arms of a cross.  Jesus, the carpenter, is the great laborer whose master work is finally accomplished on Calvary's cross.

The laborers with Christ, starting at the top and going clockwise, are:

    John the Baptist representing reformers

    Adoniram Judson representing missionaries

    Peter helping feed the thousands representing humanitarians

    A woman in prayer representing peacemakers

    A child picking flowers representing lovers of beauty

    Luke, the Gospel writer, representing physicians

    Parents dedicating a child representing homemakers

    Paul teaching representing teachers
