Prayer Garden History in Photos
In July of 2004, work began on creating a Prayer Garden behind our former parsonage just southwest of our church. A site was selected near two towering trees that survived the church fire of 1976 - a graceful white oak and a stately tulip poplar. Plans were to create a small area where visitors might pause to appreciate the beauty of nature God has blessed us with. A quiet place to reflect, pray, and listen like Elijah, for His "... still small voice." 1 Kings 19: 12
"There is a time for everything, and a season for everything under heaven."
