Memorial Garden

Memorial Garden

The Memorial Garden is intended as an expression of our Christian faith and love. This garden is a repository for cremated remains which are placed directly into the soil and become part of the life of the garden.

Located to the south of the main west entrance of the church, the Memorial Garden serves not only as a repository for cremains but also as a garden of beauty and tranquility for meditation and remembrance.
 
A permanent Remembrance Book is located in the church narthex which includes information pertaining to those interred in the garden.

Applications for interment and a copy of the policies and procedures may be obtained from the church office.

Upkeep of the garden is done by volunteers.


Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Luke 12:27 NIV

Song of Solomon 2:1-12 NIV

 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women. Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. 

John 15:12 

 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. 8 Listen! My beloved! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills. 

I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. 

 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice. My beloved spoke and said to me, "Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me. 

See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
