On Sunday 23^rd of October 2011 our Church, River of Life City Church honoured some church leaders for the genuine and valuable service within the church over a vast number of years.

In deciding how to best show our appreciation for all they have given of themselves, a verse from the bible came to mind.  2 Corinthians 4:7 explains that, as humans we are all fragile and common like a clay jar, but despite our “humanness” God has still chosen to house His all-surpassing power in any of us that choose to believe in Him.  

The team of elders within the church has provided stability and wisdom to the church and the people through a great number of issues and difficult situations.  Each one is like a clay jar.  Still human, yet able to be a shining example of the many facets of God’s character to people in times of need.

Through a recommendation we decided to approach Georgette Schwantes from Georgette’s Art in Birkdale to create the 5 Jars as a gift to represent the service of the leaders.  Each one was individually crafted and inscribed with the two foundational scriptures to the church’s vision

When Stella Maris Catholic School on Maroochydore built their new hall they wanted to  add a sculpture to a wall measuring 2.5m high and 1m5cm wide and angled so that it will be visible from all main parts of the hall. It is above a ledge which is approx1.25m high and it cream in colour, they sought out Brisbane Sculptor Georgette Schwantes and commissioned her to create a Celtic Cross as a  relief for the wall for the blessing and opening of their new hall

My name is Roy Wyatt. I am the Sport Development Manager for Wynnum Manly Leagues Club. Recently through the recommendation of Michael at Pacific Trophies we commissioned Georgette to produce a kangaroo sculpture to be the centrepiece of a shield that Michael is building for us to donate to Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League.

Sacred Heart School Commission Georgette Schwantes to Sculpture Jesus. December 2009

Dear Georgette,

We were looking at incorporating a large life-size sculpture of Jesus at the Sacred Heart in our school grounds playground, sitting down on a 'block' with maybe some blocks beside him where the kids could sit too.
