THE LIVING TREE

We have sought for a long time to find a way of acknowledging those people who have been and are still important in our lives and the life of our church.  We dedicate "The Living Tree" to provide that place of honor.  It is located on the wall of the west entrance.  The Living Tree is a gift of Mrs. Virginia Kohn in memory of her parents, Harry and Bertha Reen.
