Memorial Garden Dedication Ceremony
June 1 - Save the Date!

While it's taken some time to get to this stage of construction of our Memorial Garden, several milestones have been reached. The land has been cleared and graded, the pathways put in and the grass and shrubs planted. Then came the "Welcome Rock" with its beautiful bronze plaque. Two members of BSA Troop 86 raised money and used their talents to build an arbor and to install pavers around the future fountain area as part of their Eagle Scout community service projects. We've had the first interment of cremated ashes, those of Paul Leonard, whose vision and efforts were responsible for starting this project to offer a new ministry to our church family. We hope to have elevated granite stones engraved with the verses of Psalm 23 installed around the perimeter walkway of the garden by the end of May. A few projects still remain to be completed.

Now it's time to reach a new milestone, one that is both sacred and a celebration. You are cordially invited to attend the Dedication Ceremony in the Memorial Garden on Sunday, June 1 following the morning worship service. We will meet in Fellowship Hall after Coffee Hour and walk down to the Memorial Garden. Those who would find the walk challenging can drive down to the garden area. Enter through the curb cut and park on the grass. Rev. Brenner and Rev. Carr will lead us in the Dedication Ceremony.
