It is in the back of a local Lutheran church. Our local web page says: The New Testament Stone Garden, which have arrangements of stone designed to illustrate biblical passages. The New Testament refers to stone 48 times in 11 books. The Stone Garden focuses on 14 of these references. Throughout the journey in the Garden, visitors can read the reference passages cut into stone and discuss their significance to the surrounding stones during a guided tour. Started in the late 1960s, the stone collection ranges in weight from less than one pound to stones weighing more than 8,000 pounds and coming from all over the world.
It was interesting and a nice way to spend a little bit of time. Rebecca really liked it and she read through a pamphlet to describe each stone and it's significance. The boys liked it too even though I really don't know that they understood it.
On another note, when we got there we discovered that the church was holding a rummage sale that day. I was able to get the Rebecca a new winter coat and a brand new dress for $3.25 total. Jacob got a Drew Brees jersey, a local high school jersey, a long sleeve under armour shirt and a pair of pants for winter all for $1 total. Ben got a Brett Favre shirt and a pair of pants for winter for $0.50. We got several bargains. I will have to keep my eye out for when they hold their sale as most clothes were only a quarter and they had a ton of stuff.
It was a nice way to spend a Saturday with the family.
Wow! those were some bargain prices! Looks like you also spent a nice afternoon at the "garden."
ReplyDeleteYes they were really great prices. Like I said, I am going to keep my eyes open for future sales there. :)
DeleteWhat a nice family day.
