Baby Josephine and her building
Josephine (1 day old) and her great-grandmother Nana Muller (80+ years old) (Irene's mum)
Building project during last week. It is an outside cupboard for storing garden tools etc. at the back of our house
The building completed Thursday 8/07/09 (Josephine's birthday)
So it will be called "The Josephine Eve Complex" in her honour
Note: Sarah, G'child#1 has my 1914 veteran car named after her.

The lectern
This piece of wood from the Walnut tree is a fine grain and very heavy and is ideal for the base of the lectern. It was cut in three pieces to fit in the little car.
It finds its way into my humble workshop and work begins.
The top piece is sculpted to reduce the weight.
I was so busy that I forgot to take photos before it was finished...
The metal is stainless steel and the design fits in with the rest of our church furniture.
"Caring with the heart of Christ...
... serving with the gifts of the Spirit"

Baptism Boxes
Living Faith Congregation has a tradition of gifting a "Baptism Box" to children who are baptised in our church.
Several gifts are placed in the box.
- A soft toy lamb to reming us that "I am Jesus' little lamb" and "The Lord is my Shepherd"
- A Bible story book
- The monogrammed Baptism cloth used to dry the head after baptism
- The Baptism Certificate
Production in my humble workshop
The crossed are made from old pieces of silky oak that were previously part of the furniture of the old Sandgate Church
Finished and ready to go to church
The baby's parents together with God parents present the child for baptism
The box is presented
Many members of the congregation make similar boxes. There are a lot of baptisms in our church!
