Did you know that our bricks are not just for memorials?
Our Buy a Brick campaign to pave the stairs and amphitheater area is off to a good start with a number of bricks being purchased as memorials to friends and loved ones who have passed on.
However, did you know that memorials are not the only occasion for which you might like to purchase a brick? They could be purchased to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, to honor a friend or relative who means something special to you, or as a family, to celebrate a family reunion.
Groups, such as families, scout troops, schools, or a school class could pitch in and combine their funds to purchase a brick which would be a lasting memory to commemorate a special occasion.
How fun would it be ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now to bring your children or grandchildren to the Sanctuary and be able to tell them, "See that brick? When I was in second grade our class (or school) pitched in and bought that brick for the Sanctuary!"
Since we are planning to begin the paving project at the top of the stairs and work our way down, the commemorative bricks will be one of the first things visitors see when they visit our site.
We're very excited about this project, and hope you will be too!!
