Childhood Memories ... Church Steeples

I remember this dexterity game as a child. Put your hands together back to back while you intertwine the middle, ring and pinky fingers together. Roll your hand so the palms are together.  The pointer fingers are touching and the thumbs rest side by side.

Here is the church.  Here is the steeple (tap the tips of the pointers together.) Open the doors (pull the thumbs apart and roll the hands palms up. Then wiggle the fingers) and see all the peoples.

Wooddale Church Steeple

When we walked out of Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota Friday evening the steeple was lit up.  The 220 foot steeple is visible for a long distance in the day light but it radiates after dark. It reminded me of a church in Spain, Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.  The architecture of the building presents the gospel.  At Wooddale church the bottom of the steeple reminds me of the church congregation bound together by the Holy Spirit (you can see 2 of 3 sides in the picture.) The Trinity pulls together at the cross that points the people towards heaven.
