Why are we planning to build a Celebration Garden at Northaven now?
This Garden was initially planned and postponed by the Building Committee because funding was not available. Over the past year, lead gifts, honorariums and memorial gifts have provided substantial funds designated for this purpose. Many members have been vitally interested in this project and have volunteered to help make it a reality. Other churches who have installed columbaria report a significant increase in spirituality in the life of the church. In addition, cremation followed by inurnment or interment offers a much less costly burial event.
