Commemorative
Trees

Trees:
a living presence to see and touch.
The Commemorative
Tree Project is a way to beautify the church grounds, replace
trees in the church parking lot, and offer an opportunity
to celebrate special occasions and remember special people.
The project is sponsored by our church's Landscape Committee.
|
This is how
the program works:
- Individuals,
families, and groups may donate a commemorative tree to celebrate
a life, a marriage, a special birthday or anniversary, or any
other special occasion.
- Each tree
will be tagged with the date and a brief notation as desired by
the donors, and donors will be notified of the location of their
tree. Donors may arrange for private dedications with our ministerial
staff.
- For each
tree donated, the donors will be given a distinctive certificate.
A copy of these certificates will be put into the Commemorative
Tree Album, available to everyone in the church library.
- Commemorative
trees will be selected with care from a variety of types of hardy,
salt-tolerant plants. The trees will be about 12 feet tall.
Plantings will take place once or twice a year.
- Commemorative
trees are available for a donation of $300.00 each.
- These special
trees will be given the best care possible; however, our church
will not be able to guarantee to replace donated trees.
