Lego Tabernacle

For the last couple of months, my Pastor has been engaging the young guys from church with a study of the Tabernacle. As a way to grab their interest, he decided to combine the study with Lego. After-church discussions among the young guys (and some not-quite-so young guys) often revolve around Lego anyway - so it was a good fit.

Known as the Tabernacle of Moses, the Tabernacle was basically a large tent that was where the Children of Israel worshiped Jehovah (God) during their time in the wilderness. During the studies we looked into various aspects of the Tabernacle and how they can point us to Christ.

And of course - we built with Lego!

We all chose something to build and built it from our own Lego - and eventually brought it all together to display.

Although considerably older than the guys the study was aimed at - everyone knows I love Lego, so I was involved from the get-go.

My contribution was the overall model of the Tabernacle. Due to the fact that I have a job and could afford to order in extra Lego, mine was more colour-coordinated than some of the other models - but I must say, I was very impressed with the overall collection. Some very talented young builders in my Church.

 

My Tabernacle will be on display next month at Brixhibition in Hobart as well.

Very nice. I can see you had several Arks of the Covenant - was the red gate yours as well?

Actually - only one of those was the Ark. Clancy built the yellow Ark (and I had a small one inside as well). The other things you were seeing were actually the Table of Shewbread built by some of the Coleses.

The standalone gate was built by Christophel and puts mine to shame!

Ah, okay. Yeah, paying more attention now, only one model has the angels on the top. And - no offense intended, of course - I would have to agree with you on the gate.
