"OUR MEMORY GARDEN" is becoming a reality!

Work Party Saturday, November 15 from 10 am to Noon to cover the remainder of the garden with cardboard and bark to winterize and beutify the area.

Over the coming weeks, you will see benches and plants added to Our Memory Garden.
The garden is to the West of the church, outside the windows of the sanctuary. When it's complete, it will provide a backdrop to our worship that may enhance its spirituality for many of you. The design is reminiscent of a mandala, an Asian guide to meditation and self-reflection (our labyrinth incorporates the same symbol). At the center is a fountain.

The sound of the fountain is soft and relaxing. There will be six to eight benches surrounding the fountain where you can sit and reflect or just think clearly.

At a meeting earlier this year, someone said that the Memorial Garden was to “honor the past.” That's certainly part of its purpose. However, everyone will enjoy its beauty, peace and tranquility from the day it is blessed, and we will have a place to honor our friends in the church as well as our relatives. We will then be able to spend a bit of time there celebrating lives in which we played a part. Or our own present or future. What a glorious addition to our church!

Pricing on the plants covers installation, plaque, compost, bark, one-year warranty and perpetual maintenance for the life of the plant.

Pricing on the benches, fountain and arbors includes freight, installation, plaque and maintenance costs.

Garden sections can also be arranged.

The focal point of the garden is this beautiful fountain,
