4/28: New Garden Dedication

*Save the Date! Sunday, April 28th we will be having a Dedication Service for the new garden at 10:30 am!

We still need help locating relatives who had family members interred in the original memorial garden so they can be invited to our upcoming dedication service on Sunday, 4/28. If you know any of these individuals, or would like to receive the full list of names of folks who are honored there, please contact Adora, Mike or Jon.

We continue to welcome and receive the generosity of our congregation and community toward our Capital Campaign to build our beautiful memorial garden. Consider how you might support and sustain the work and growth of God’s work in our midst. This garden, built for memorial and meditation, serves as a reminder of our foundation and our future. The Garden Capital Campaign has raised $10,618 as of February 29, 2024. We are so appreciative and grateful for those who have contributed and continue to do so!

3/23: Spring Cleaning

Join us as we get our outdoor space ready for Spring and Easter! We will have a “Spring Cleaning” of our garden and grounds on Saturday, March 23rd from 9 am to 12 pm. It will be a great chance to work outdoors together, and to enjoy the spring weather and our new garden!
