When the CLA makes furnishings out of metal, we often work with John Conklin at Shorey Metal Works in Topeka, Kansas. These pictures show the ambo in different phases of construction. The long niche in the front of the ambo will hold a red mosaic panel.

CUNE alumna Susan Thowe made this banner for Faith Lutheran Church in Topeka. We love to see Concordia alumni using their artistic talents to beautify their worship spaces!

CUNE art student Kristin Easler designed and fabricated this 34' scrolling banner for Crown of Life Lutheran Church in San Antonio, Texas. Each of the felt pieces was cut and appliqued onto the banner. The banner will rotate around the loop so that different parts of the design show, corresponding to the weeks of Lent, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. More pictures to come soon of the banner at Crown of Life!

The 40 foot tall cross at St. John in Bakersfield was adorned with a black banner this past Holy Week. It looks so striking and poignant against a gray sky. A white banner replaced this one on Easter morning - He is Risen, indeed!

Our partner in Topeka, Kansas, John Conklin at Shorey Metal Works, made this processional cross and accompanying candle stands (only one is shown.)The cross is made of stainless steel but will be gold leafed (with real gold!) to match the wall cross that is already in the sanctuary at St. John in Bakersfield, California.
