The Memorials committee is in the process of relocating the Memorial Garden to a 40x40 ft. area in the church cemetery. When the office/education wing was extended a couple of years ago, the former Garden was removed. The new Garden will consist of a central item (to be determined) surrounded by brick pavers and Dogwood trees. The names of persons memorialized by contributions to build the first garden will be included in the new garden along with the names of people memorialized with funds to build this garden. Additional memorial funds in memory of a loved one designated for the garden would be appreciated.

Proposed Memorial Garden

Starting in January 2008, the Memorials Committee will be selling memorial brick pavers. Sales are beginning with discounted prices for pavers bought before March 31, 2008. These pavers should be engraved and installed by the end of June. 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 will are $150 and 8x8 inch pavers are $300.
