HISTORIC PRESERVATION

---

FOSTERING A GRAVE SITE

What does fostering entail? Weeding and replanting or providing occasional flowers; general tidy-up; cleaning gravestones; remarking the borders around graves; and most important, doing a little research to learn about the person where possible. Training is provided. Seasonal residents are welcome to participate as we can connect two or more foster families on each grave site!  We are delighted that all of our sites currently have fosters, but you can still participate by doing occasional beautifying on your own time, or volunteering at our church work days.  

WORK DAY

 Each month, folks are invited to join in and help clean up the church and the grounds.  Different projects may come up as needed, but regular cleaning would involve cleaning and beautification of the grounds and grave sites, weeding, pruning; maintenance of our buildings that might include cleaning windows, pews, minor repairs, etc.

Bring along small gardening tools and fresh cut flowers or cleaning supplies, along with a willingness to beautify and care for our church grounds.

DOCENT TRAINING (Coming Soon)

Meet Maggie Lea, Christ Memorial's history expert, who will be sharing her knowledge and research with others through docent training sessions.  The training sessions are for all those interested in leading occasional tours of the property to visitors, or who would just like to learn more about our very special church.  Stay tuned for more information about this very special ministry.
