| FIELD
OF DREAMS |
 |
| Summertime Worship |
 |
| Our Field of Dreams was started with a hope and a dream. We
had the field - we just needed to complete the dream. |
| A large picnic pavilion containing 10 picnic tables and benches
was constructed by many dedicated church members. Lights, outlets
and security lights were all installed by a retired electrician.
End benches make our pavilion handicapped accessible. A mural
was painted by the church youth, under the direction of Artist
Tom Fox, on the barn, which borders the South side of the pavilion.
It's a delightful spot for summer services. |
| Our pavilion is used for picnics, parties, dinners, Sunday
School gatherings and meetings. We also rent the Pavilion to
outside organizations. A large grassy area and playground enhances
the Field of Dreams. Burger King donated a climbing slide unit,
for the cost of moving it. All sizes enjoy sliding! A large
sand box with two benches was constructed by dedicated church
members. The playground area is a favorite of the Geneseo Nursery
School which meets in our church. |
| Dedication of the Field of Dreams was October 15, 1995. Our
Field of Dreams was recognized by the Association of the Preservation
of Geneseo with an Award of Merit in May 1996. |

| C.
FREDERICK YOOS MEMORIAL GARDEN |
 |
| Our C. Frederick Yoos Memorial Garden is a garden for all
seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Landscaping on the
west side of the church was enhanced in 1991 on the north side
by creating an "L" shaped continuous garden along
the base of the church. An area from the base of the building
was left for scattering of ashes and a grid with a 2' x 2' squares
created plots among the plantings. The grave markers, which
are flat, identify the plots. All who rest in the garden have
a small brass name plate mounted on a plaque in the Narthex. |
| The Memorial Garden was dedicated Easter Sunday, April 19,
1992. and Janice L. Willer was hired as Director of Memorial
Garden in the Fall of 1992. This lovely garden invites celebration,
yet offers privacy appropriate to those congregants who rest
there. |
| Our Memorial Garden received the Civic Beautification Award
by the Geneseo Garden Club in January of 1993. |
|
| PROGRESSIVE
DINNER |
 |
| The Westminster Club, open to anyone associated with the church,
holds a Progressive Dinner Annually. Last year's event took
place at three homes on Conesus Lake. |

SUPPER |

Conversation - Good Food |
| The Women's Association, open to all women of the church,
holds a Salad Supper annually. Bread, Beverage and Dessert are
furnished, and everyone brings a salad." It is for fun
and fellowship. |
