Memorial Garden

In Jim’s Memory the Peace Pole proclaims ___in

Norwegian, English, Spanish and Hebrew (the language Jesus spoke) _____the desire for peace, which we

hope will become the desire of all our

hearts..

A Garden Because:

~~~The motivation for this garden came from our desire to find a more permanent memorial for our friend and Christian brother, Jim Willett.

~~~The theme of salvation - with an opened tomb, an empty cross, and our mural depicting Jesus praying, the Good Shepherd, and His ascension - will witness to those who visit.

~~~It is our intent that the quiet beauty and peacefulness

will minister to all who enter and that all will feel welcome

here.

  COME ------walk through the garden with us.   

  "Why seek ye the living among the dead?"

Our empty cross - Christ Jesus Lives.

Sit a spell and enjoy the beauty.

Listen to the soothing sounds of water falling in the fountain.

We hope you have felt God’s presence and

peace  while here in our garden. Come back

any time or visit in person.

Shalom.
