The Clarence D Brehm Memorial Prayer Garden is located between the Trinity Building and the Sanctuary and is the final resting place of many saints of the church. It is a small, shaded area where people can come to mark a special occasion or just sit quietly.
The columbarium contains 64 niches designed for the permanent preservation of cremation urns for members and their families. Its courtyard provides the space for a small memorial service, if desired. There is also a memorial wall where plaques may be placed to honor loved ones who are buried elsewhere. But the columbarium is almost full.
When it was established many years ago, members paid a deposit to ensure that a niche was available when they needed it. Now we are conducting a survey to see if there is interest in expanding it.
Just like before, there would be an amount paid to reserve a space. The proceeds of these deposits will be used to construct additional niches.
If you would like more information, or know of someone who is interested, please contact Pastor Christian, the Board of Trustees, or the church office, and someone will reach out.
