Scatter Garden

First Lutheran Cemetery on Division street, before the entrance to Route 95. Think about joining us eternally in our scatter garden.
Property Updates:
Recently we replaced a furnace.
Our cross is leaning to the side, and chimney on top of the church needs work, so we will be having some repairs on our Steeple.
In the weeks ahead, we will also begin work on our outdoor chapel in loving memory and in honor of Pastor Linda's parents.
