At our congregational meeting on May 16, representatives of several groups presented a proposal for a “Memorial/Meditation Garden and Outdoor Worship Space,” in the context of a larger vision for the 3 acres of land we have on the north side of our property. Below are links to two presentations that were part of the May 16 meeting which provide additional context for this proposal as well as an overview of the goals and design.
- History of the Memorial Garden and Eco Friendly Practices Initiative.

The time-frame for the
proposal is as follows:
