How can you help with the garden?
This garden is the perfect opportunity to come together, work together, and develop relationships as we sacrifice a bit of our time and share our talents and ourselves in this common goal to bring God's beauty to life in our cemetery.
It's not all about the finished task, but also about what we build in ourselves in getting there.
