A framed German devotional print titled The Unseen Guest depicts Jesus at a dining table with the inscription Komm Herr Jesus, sei unser Gast.

Additional items include a small framed photograph of Pope John Paul II, a red vinyl pouch with gold-toned lettering reading PRAYER CHANGES THINGS, two metal relief plaques, and a small black-framed miniature painting of a windmill.
