Celebration Garden (formerly named the Memorial Garden)

The Celebration Garden is primarily a place to remember those who were important in our lives, a place of spiritual repose, a place of connection between then and now, and a place for contemplation of what comes next.

The first cremains interred on our grounds in 1983 were those of Jane E. Springer, a founding member of our church. The pergolas and stone pier with chalice sculpture were installed by the formerly named Memorial Garden Committee in 2000-2001. The graceful bronze chalice within the entwined Unitarian and Universalist circles, set atop a natural stone pillar, became the focal point for the garden in November 2003.

Years 2021, 2022 and currently, we have been making progress on the reconstruction of our celebrationl garden.

  • There are many memorial and/or Cremains in our garden

  • Event Space is being provided as part of the new plan

  • The Community Garden area is being maintained

Accessibility

Our Facility – Accessibility Our church strives to meet Universal Design criteria by making our space as accessible as we can. We have done this for our website as well as for our facility. We have a ramp to our front door and a lift to our second floor. All of our bathrooms are accessible for those with disabilities. Our sanctuary features a hearing loop for those with appropriate hearing aids and headphones for those who do not. Our coat racks are at multiple heights. We continue to look for ways to make our church inviting for all people.

  • Six Handicap parking spaces close to the front door of the facility

  • Many features in the building to aid members and guests
