Memory Bricks Update

The outdoor amphitheater is designed to have a brick patio and we decided to sell Memory Bricks to help offset the cost of the building. You can buy a brick with a message or name (or almost anything) on it and it would be placed in the Brick Garden. There is room for about 2,000 bricks and so far the response has not been as fruitful as we envisioned — we have sold less than 60 bricks. The good news is that there are plenty of bricks to be bought, but the bad news is that to meet the construction schedule, only the bricks bought before the end of October can be guaranteed to be in the Brick Garden when the new site opens. So, in about 2 weeks, we close out the sale of Memory Bricks and may not sell them again unless we hear an overwhelming request from the congregation. So folks, time is running out - if you want a brick, don’t wait get one now!

Online ordering can be done here. (Note that this link will take you to the ServiceU site.)

Brick Garden

It was recently suggested by one of my esteemed colleagues that a reminder be given (via telephone) to each congregant so they may consider donating a brick (or bricks) to the Brick Garden. Short of conducting a telephone campaign, this seems to be an easy way to reach people. Just one of the perks for being Lay Leader, I guess!

Flyers were sent out several weeks ago and, if you’re like me, it’s still in my mail pile! (If you can’t find your flyer, click here to look at it online.) The Brick Garden donation deadline is October 30 (for Phase I). This is such an ingenious and lasting way to commemorate a special date, person, or group, that I would hate to have anyone miss this chance. Your tribute lasts a lifetime and it’s always a joy to see.

Just to make it easier for you, here is a link to the online registration form and payment method options so you can simply do it right now and take it off of your endless “To Do” list.

Thank you for taking the time to prayerfully consider your contributions to the new Brick Garden!
