Hi!
So it turns out that the logo you liked was the one the other competition picked :(
However, I've stuck with the theme you explained, with the brown and green and blue and designed this new logo for you....being a Religious person myself, I thought that the water symbol was perfect for a church, especially one in your rural position, it can be viewed as the "Water of Life" which is what a church often gives to its congregation, but in your situation its also a symbol of growth and life considering the work you guys do. The brown, green and blue you already know the meaning behind of course ;)
anyways, I hope you like it, let me know if there's anything you want to see added/removed/changed!
