Our Celebration Garden is a beautiful place, complete with flowering
shrubs, benches, and a fountain and is located just east of the
courtyard memorial garden. The computer graphic below was created by
the late Christopher Triebes before construction of the garden was
begun.
"I have taken you every place you set your foot."
Joshua 1:3
Thank you to Chris for the lovely graphic and to Pat Locke for finding
the scripture references.
Credit for our Celebration Garden belongs first to Bob and
Cris Ballenger, who took charge of the project, and then to the
late Bill Hamilton, who did the landscaping and planting (as he
did for the rest of the church property for many years). The initial
"seed money" was a memorial gift given in memory of
church member Don Mennie, and the rest of the money came through
the sale of bricks.
Members and friends of the church had the opportunity to donate bricks
to pave the patio, with forms in the bulletin, church office, and on
the website in June 2000, where they could show up to three lines with
up to 14 characters per line to be engraved on the bricks to
| |
Celebrate the seasons of God's love . . . . |
| |
Celebrate a special occasion, |
| |
Honor a family member or friend, |
| |
Rejoice in being a part of our church family, |
| |
Inspire others with a scripture reference. |
Our Celebration Garden was dedicated during Pres Fest on September 9,
2001. Rain caused many of the festivities, including the dedication,
to be held indoors.
Another opportunity to order brick pavers was offered during May
through July 2006.
