Memorial Fund

Many different items have been purchased over the years through the Memorial Fund to benefit the future of the church, with emphasis on enabling worship by focusing on the sanctuary and chancel area.

The Altar Guild works with the Church Council and oversees the Memorial Fund.

What happens to Memorial contributions?

When individuals contribute money to the Church in memory of a loved one, the Memorial Committee is designated to responsibly handle the funds. The donor is sent a receipt and a thank you from the Church. The family members also receive an acknowledgement from the Memorial Committee listing the names of individuals who contributed in their loved ones memory.

Some families choose to designate what they would like the money contributed in their loved ones memory to be used for, and others let it up to the Memorial Committee to decide how to use the funds to best meet the needs of the Church.

Here are just a few of the many items that were made possible due to Memorial contributions at Peace:
