RESTORATION COMMITTEE - BUILDING

MEMORIAL GARDEN PROJECT

The church is in the planning stages for the memorial garden that will be placed once the old sanctuary and buildings are removed. We are asking all church members for design ideas for the memorial project overall. This information will be used to get a few options of design drafted. Please help us by answering the questions below and returning this to the church office either by email at secretary@sutherlandspringsfbc.org, or in person between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, by August 31. Feel free to include sketches or photos of your ideas with this survey. Thank you very much for your help.

OVERALL MEMORIAL GARDEN DESIGN

The goal is to design and build the memorial garden so that it will withstand the tests of time and outdoor elements and last for 100 years or more. Materials for pieces/plaques that will be able to last are limited to stainless steel, bronze, granite, but not materials like wood, glass, plastic, etc. Any power needs will need to be solar powered.
