Thoughts
" It was not on tales artfully spun that we relied when we told you of the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and his coming; we saw him with our own eyes in majesty, when at the hands of God the Father he was invested with honour and glory, and there came to him from the sublime presence a voice which said: 'This is my Son, my Beloved, on whom my favor rests.'  This voice from heaven we ourselves heard; when it came, we were with him on the sacred mountain."
2 Peter 1: 16-19


"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ"    Romans 10:17

"God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds, and stars." Martin Luther

Shoreline Preservation Project

St. John's Lutheran Church has launched a shoreline preservation project which will restore the Biggerstaff Christian Retreat Center to its original size.  Rip-wrap will be used in areas subject to erosion from wave action, and more natural approaches will be taken is the more sheltered areas.

The estimated cost of the restoration is $70,000 and there are opportunities to purchase engraved granite markers and benches which can be engraved to commemorate special people and events.

The 5 inch by 10 inch polished granite stones may be engraved with up to three lines of characters 3/4" in height.  Each line will hold up to 15 spaces.  These are available for $100.00.

The benches are all four feet long, with a sixteen inch seat which is four inches thick.
There are three different styles of supports available, with the prices ranging from $600.00 to $750.00.  The engraving opportunities vary, depending on the support system selected.

A shoreline Preservation Project order form is available as a PDF document which you may print and mail to the address indicated on the form.  You may also contact the caretaker if you have questions or if you would like to make arrangements to visit the Center.
