BRANDON, WI — Here’s the church, here’s the steeple. Open the door and see all the people.
Or in the case of Emanuel Lutheran Church in Brandon, it’s actually more than 12,000 Legos visitors will be viewing as they walk through the vestibule.
A detailed miniature replica of the 134-year-old church was fashioned out of Legos begged, borrowed and bought on eBay by Emanuel’s homegrown pastor, Stuart Dornfeld, who had some time on his hands in between sermons.
"I was looking for a challenge, and I wanted to build something from real life," Dornfeld said.
