First Presbyterian Church of Lebanon Columbarium Dedication & Ribbon Cutting

Written by Lebanon Wilson Chamber Marketing on . Posted in Chamber Blog, Ribbon Cuttings.

First Presbyterian Church of Lebanon hosted a Columbarium Dedication ceremony. The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce conducted a Ribbon Cutting ceremony following the dedication.

Reverend Sherard Edington led the dedication ceremony for the church’s new columbarium — a sacred space for the cremated remains of beloved church members. The columbarium provides a peaceful and respectful place for families to honor their loved ones. The vision for the columbarium began in 2019, when the church recognized the need for such a space to meet the growing needs of our congregation. A dedicated committee was formed to explore the project. Hal Bone, a church member and the owner of Horizon Construction, helped in bringing the vision to life — making the construction process a reality.

Pictured with Reverend Sherard Edington are members of the columbarium committee and members of First Presbyterian Church of Lebanon. Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Melanie Minter, Board of Directors, Ambassadors and representatives are also pictured.

The columbarium committee includes: Pat Bone, Suanne Bone, Jane Hay, Wayne Patton, Jim Stueck, Margaret Ann Trail, Van Turner, Caroline Walker, Allen Vance, and Reverend Sherard Edington.

On Tuesday, October 22 the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce conducted a Ribbon Cutting ceremony at The Village Play Place.

At its core, The Village Play Place was created to offer space for five important things: for kids, for parents, for celebrations, for education and for relevance. A space that is safe for kids to play, learn and, frankly, just be kids. A space for the parents to find support, other same-stage families to go through life with and feel connected to their community.

The Village Play Place is located at 703 S Cumberland St., Suite C-1, Lebanon, TN
