Memorial Garden

For centuries, remains of loved ones were placed in cemeteries located near the churches. As automobiles became available, space for parking hindered this practice. As a result, during construction of our new church, a site immediately west of the narthex was reserved for a Memorial Garden. This setting provides a place of solitude and beauty as well as a repository for the remains of departed members. The proximity to the activities of the church will prolong the memory of departed members and is an expression of our Christian faith.

There are one-hundred-forty-one niches each designed to accommodate two urns. Each will be sealed with granite tiles bearing appropriate information. There is a provision for plaques, should someone wish to memorialize a loved one who may be interred elsewhere.

A permanent endowment fund has been established in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington and is under the management of the Church Finance Commission. Earnings from this fund will be used for maintenance of the Memorial Garden.

You are encouraged to consider providing a final resting place in this location which will continue the memory of loved ones in an environment dedicated to the Glory of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

"Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."
--John 14:1-3

In memory of our beloved LaDean.

The Memorial Garden is made possible by a gift from the Steward family. It is their hope that this garden will be a place for meditation, reflection, comfort and prayer.
