Prayer Garden Beautification Project

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

Prayer Garden Beautification Project
In 2002, members of the congregation gathered for the dedication of the Rev. Alton C. Clark Memorial Prayer Garden, located behind the original Church Parsonage. The guest speaker for the occasion was Pastor Clark’s son, the Rev. Marion W. Clark.
For the last 21 years, members of our congregation have lovingly worked the Garden, taking care and replanting various types of flowers and plants as needed. However, the time has come for our Prayer Garden to be refurbished and updated. With the addition of the Columbarium, the Prayer Garden now provides church members and friends of Holy Trinity a nice backdrop for Committal Services, as well a quiet space to pray and remember loved ones.

Rebecca Funderburk, sister-in-law to Mary Ann Hobbs, recently donated her time and expertise as a landscape designer to put together a Master Plan for our Prayer Garden and adjacent flower beds. At its meeting in September, the Church Council approved Irrigation Service and Repair to install an irrigation system for us in time for the Fall planting season. It was agreed that the irrigation system is the foundation for the success of the entire Prayer Garden project. The total cost of the irrigation system will be $3,800. To cover this cost, at its September meeting, the Church Council approved $2,545 from a Dedicated Account be used toward the installation of the irrigation system. We are now seeking funds from the congregation to cover the difference of $1,225.

If you would like to give toward the Prayer Garden Beautification Project, please make your check payable to Holy Trinity with “Prayer Garden” in the Memo. Funds received over and above the requested amount, will be used to purchase needed plants, shrubbery, and trees.
