Bibelot Project at SID - February 2012

2012-01-11T14:29:00.001-08:00

The term bibelot [bib-loh; Fr. beeb^uh-loh] is a French word meaning: a small object ofcuriosity, beauty, or rarity.

This Bibelot project is for the Southern Illinois District LCMS convention this February. Bibelots are a witnessing tools that we Liturgical artist from Concordia University Seward have been design polishing for several years. Each of these Bibelots will
have a business card accompanying it explaining how to witness with this tool.

The Bibelot can remind you of several things about Christ.

The circle could remind you of money - Christ paid a price for your freedom from sin

The rough feel could remind you of dirt - Christ walked on this same dirt you and I do. From dust you were formed, from dust you shall return. God formed man from the ground.

The finger print could remind you that you are touched by God. The finger print could remind you that you are different than every other human, that God made you HIS way, special, unique, an individual

The underneath side you can see that the piece was held in a hand to make it, thishand texture could remind you that God holds you in the palm of his hand, God will comfort you by holding you, He comforts you by keeping you close to him.

The dark red could remind you that Christ's blood was shed for your freedom

The butterfly could remind you of the new life that you have through Christ

The cross within the butterfly could remind you that Christ died on the Cross for your freedom
