Rockland Community Church has exciting news to share! The long-awaited opening and dedication of the Rockland Community Prayer Garden is set to take place on April 29 at 10:00 am. The Prayer Garden is located at 2921 Rockland Rd, Front Royal, Virginia.

This beautiful garden was a vision of the church’s Thursday night prayer group and was designed by Sheron Smith-Piazza, the late wife of John Piazza. The prayer garden promises to be a beautiful oasis of peace and quiet, featuring stunning dogwoods, benches, and more. Visitors will be able to find a peaceful moment for prayer and reflection amidst the beautiful surroundings.

The highlight of the dedication ceremony is the guest speaker, Winsome Sears, Lt Governor of Virginia. She is expected to deliver a heartfelt message of hope and inspiration to all in attendance. Her presence at the event is a testament to the importance of the prayer garden to the community.

At the center of the garden is an 8×40 ft. reflecting pond, where a marble statue of Christ reigns in radiant beauty. The 14 Stations of the Cross, placed along the brick pathways, offer a series of pictures or carvings that portray the events of Christ’s passion, from his condemnation to his burial. The bricks in the pathways are engraved in memory of a deceased loved one or honoring those still living, and some are dedicated to loving pets. Those interested in purchasing a brick can visit rocklandcommunitychurch.net.

The dedication of the Rockland Community Prayer Garden promises to be a special event that will bring the community together in a moment of shared reflection and prayer. All are welcome to attend this momentous occasion. Come join us and experience the beauty and peace of the Rockland Community Prayer Garden.

During a visit to the Rockland Community Prayer Garden, our publisher Mike McCool had the opportunity to speak with Bill Orndoff, Minister at Rockland Community Church, and other individuals involved in this project.
