SANDPOINT — It will be the end of an era this weekend when the final Sunday service is held at the Gardenia Center.

That service will take place at 10 a.m. Sunday, May 12. The news follows the recent sale of the center, which had leased the building from Marilyn Chambers until her passing in November 2021. In March, Gardenia Center officials were notified by her heirs that they planned to put the building up for sale.

Chambers founded the center in the mid-1980s as a non-denominational community space for people to come together and worship. She devoted her life to her spiritual journey, and it was her dream to create a place that both served and welcomed everyone, according to family members in her obituary.
