In an effort to offer a place of rest and reflection when our doors can not be open during the week, Bethany's Evangelism & Outreach committee kicked off their Prayer and Meditation Garden project in late March 2019.  With a small kick-start from our Board of Session, the Prayer & Mediation Garden sub-committee was able to raise an additional $14,000 to date through individual donations, brick dedications  and several fundraising events throughout the year.  

In conjunction with our 120th Anniversary, we officially dedicated our Garden in October 2019.  As a finished product, our garden offers a beautiful 12' gazebo, three comfortable benches made out of reusable material, one Red Maple, one Star Magnolia, one Kousa Dogwood and an abundance of both annuals and perennials.

In addition, we have our own "Free Little Library®" which is a replica of our beloved building. You are encouraged to "take a book...leave a book" as part of a community exchange. 

Five years later, after acquiring a 2 acre land parcel to the southwest of our property, Bethany created "the Meadow".  With a ramp to access the lower portion, you can walk a mulch trail around the perimeter and enjoy our newly planted trees and benches.  The Meadow, with its trees and benches, was dedicated in October of 2024 during our 125th Anniversary. 

As each season progresses, we hope to continue adding to this beautiful space,  which is a labor of love for our community!
