Building and Grounds
When you have a large, beautiful piece of property with magnificent old buildings, it takes a lot of energy to maintain it!
Our Building Team shows grace under pressure while handling all there is to be done
around the actual physical plant,
from maintenance,
to logistics and traffic-flow,
to building security.
Between all those who embrace
the stewardship of our property,
we are blessed with a beautifully maintained reflection of God's Creation on our own grounds.
Memorial Garden
The Memorial Garden of Grace Church is located on the church grounds on the north side of the sanctuary and lies under a canopy of old maple trees. A granite Celtic cross is the centerpiece of the garden.
The Grace Memorial Garden is for the interment of ashes in certain consecrated areas. The guiding concept of the garden is to provide a simple, dignified memorial for loved ones placed to rest there, and to afford a quiet, secluded environment for family and friends, conducive to reflection, meditation, and prayer.
Who May Use the Garden
Interment in the Memorial Garden is available to our parishioners and their families. All other interments are at the discretion of the Rector.
Memorial Garden Plaque
Name plates showing only the deceased's name and year of birth and death may be added
to the Memorial Plaque,
which is mounted on a granite stone set in the garden. The name plates shall be identical in size and shape and may contain no other information.
Memorial Gifts
Memorial gifts are gratefully accepted by the Church.
