Saints from the 2017 Living Cemetery tour           Modified 3/12/19
There Will Be A Living Cemetery Tour 2019
!

3/12/19
After talking with various people interested in producing a tour in 2019, we have decided to go ahead.  These people have volunteered to be coordinators for the tour!
  • Lynne Moratzka Saint Selection -  survey the congregation and community for possible saints to feature this year.
  • -Still Seeking- Actor Recruitment - seek community members and family members to represent the saints.
  • Vicki Sames Historical Research - use a variety of resources to help actors compose their stories to tell the stories.
  • Steph Pereboom Publicity / Reservations - Produce publicity documents for local news sources.  Also manage the flight registrations for people wishing to go on the tour
  • Barb Sackmann Meal During Tour - coordinate with a caterer to provide a light lunch for visitors during the tour.  Also manage volunteers who will help serve and clean up.
  • Lynne Moratzka Fellowship Hall Display - Gather pictures, artifacts and stories about the saints to display during the light lunch.
  • Scott Walcker Director & website
  • Myron Lindgren  Cemetery Historian


Our first order of business is to select the saints to include on this years tour.  We hope to have 6 to 9 stops (some may have two saints telling a story).  If you have suggestions for saints, please contact Lynne Mortazka ([email protected] ) or click here to use our online saint submission form. 

You can see a list of the possible saints suggested so far by   clicking here .  In late March or early April the congregation will vote on who they'd like to see after church in the fellowship hall.  We will post that date here.

We are also forming the planning committee.  It will include the coordinators listed above plus several other interested people.    If you are interested in being on the planning committee contact Scott Walcker (see info below)

If you’d like to volunteer, and get future emails click on my email below and send me a brief message.  If you have suggestions for saints or can’t make the meeting, please feel free to contact;
