The Courtyard
Dedicated on November 6, 2005
It features a fountain, a sculpture, walkways from the Sanctuary to other buildings on campus, lighting, benches, and a nice grassy area.
The title of the sculpture is “Friends.” which Ray Martens, the sculptor, wanted to convey most of all that we are Christ’s children. “He takes us into his arms and protects us,” he said. “He’s a savior to us whatever century we live in.” Ray lives in Columbia, Maryland, with his wife Prisca. Ray and Prisca are a lifelong Lutherans and teach at Towson University.
