The Memorials committee relocated the Memorial Garden to a 40x40 ft. area in the church cemetery in 2008. When the office/education wing was extended, the former Garden was removed. The new Garden consists of a central cross surrounded by brick pavers, Dogwood trees and granite benches. The names of persons memorialized by contributions to build the first garden are included in the new garden along with the names of people memorialized with funds to build this garden.

The Memorials Committee began selling memorial brick pavers in January 2008. 4x8 inch pavers will hold 3 lines of 18 characters each; 8x8 inch pavers will hold up to 6 lines of 18 characters. 4x8 inch pavers are $150 and 8x8 inch pavers are $300.


You may order a brick(s) by completing an order form, enclosing a check payable to Mt. Zion United Methodist Church (with a notation for a memorial brick paver). The committee anticipates engraving and installing new pavers approximately every 6 months.
Order forms for these pavers are available in MS Word or PDF formats.
A sample form is also availabe for your review.
Any questions should be directed to Roger Colvin at 301-604-0776 or Rdcolvin@verizon.net

The light orange circle is where the 4x8 pavers were placed. The red radials in the light orange circle are where the 8x8 pavers were placed. Extending in 4 directions from the light orange circle are gray rectangles. These are 2 ft x 3 ft slate stones from the original memorial garden.
In addition to the large and small pavers, five large slates have been engraved. These slates give a short history and list the names of those who contributed to the prior memorial garden and the new garden.
