Columbarium
The Meditation Garden and Columbarium
The Meditation Garden and Columbarium at the church offers a beautiful, tranquil space for quiet reflection and meditation, as well as providing the option for those who would like for their cremation to be interred on church grounds.The garden is open during regular church hours. Enter through the door by the parking lot entrance.
The Vision
Jim and Sue Powers developed the vision behind the Columbarium, and through their generous and thoughtful gift, made the project a reality. The Powers chose cremation as their choice of burial and they wanted to be interned on the grounds of the church because it is so meaningful in their family's lives. They discussed how they could help to make a church Columbarium a possibility, and also thought about how they could combine a Columbarium project with their interest in Mission work.
They were led to establish a Columbarium and Mission Endowment where two thirds of the cost of the Columbarium niche goes to mission work. About 50 percent of the funds will go to mission work within the church, and 50% to outreach in Centre County and worldwide. One third of the cost of a Columbarium niche will be used for maintenance, urns, nameplates, and the future purchase of additional niches. With the installation of additional niches, the Mission funds will be in excess of $250,000.
