Mid-Daily Items: Taking SpongeBob to church

[Ian David]

For a 134-year-old church, Emanuel Lutheran in Brandon, Wis., features some unusual worshippers in a model that mixes realistic details with whimsical touches — like the Batmobile parked outside.

The church made from more than 12,000 Lego bricks by the Rev. Stuart Dornfeld has little toy people scattered inside, including recognizable facsimiles of SpongeBob SquarePants, Indiana Jones and Batman.

“We’ve had some famous members, it’s true,” Dornfeld deadpanned.

Dornfeld, who is married and has two young daughters, said he was inspired last year when he saw an exhibit of Lego artist Nathan Sawaya’s work at the Children’s Museum of Appleton.
