The Pompton Lakes Reformed Church's plan for a Legacy Garden seeks to create an outside sanctuary on church grounds.

Pastor Thomas Bartha said the church's Endowment Committee is working on a long-term project to beautify the church's grounds.

It is currently holding a fundraiser to begin work on the greenery next to the playground.

Bartha said right now the project is focusing on just a triangular area.

"Often there are people waiting for meetings there and they want to just sit outside and have a cup of coffee or a lunch," he said.

The plan is to plant new shrubbery and install benches.

"They just want to make it beautiful," he said. "Right now it's just a patch of grass, and that's it."

To raise the funds for the project, which is called the Legacy Garden, the church is selling commemorative bricks that can be inscribed and installed in the ground.
