Carl Rauerdink, of the Old Oak Shop in New Hostein, built the pulpit and lectern as well as the ornate wooden panels with crosses high above our altar. He was back yesterday to add an extension to the floor/platform portion. It's the part with the 45 degree angles, screwed into the existing platform and leveled. Made of hickory wood, it matches what was already there, and just gives a few more square feet to those who stand on it. I like it a lot, and now don't worry about someone falling off of it during a funeral eulogy, etc.
Thanks for reading,
