A June, 2021 Message from the President

     I am pleased to announce that, by a unanimous trustee vote, the Chapel will be open for worship and other activities this summer.

     The Worship Committee has planned Sunday services to adhere to the most current New York State and CDC regulations. Face masks and distancing will not be required for those who are vaccinated. We respectfully ask that those who are not vaccinated wear a mask.

     We will have both 9:30 and 11:00 services.  Sunday School will be offered at the 9:30 a.m. service with protocols in place for that age group. There will also be a section of the Chapel reserved for those who prefer to social distance. You will be greeted at the door by friendly ushers who will provide further instruction and guidance as you enter.

     We will bring back outdoor coffee hour and fellowship following the first service, weather permitting.  

     Our goal is to welcome everyone while providing a safe and comfortable worship experience, so please come if you are able!  For those who are unable to attend, the 9:30 a.m. service will be recorded each week, and available for viewing here on the Chapel website.

     In addition to Sunday worship, our Chapel will be open for weddings, memorial services, baptisms, Tuesday tours, and select musical events. Find posting of dates and times for all events and activities here on the website calendar.

     Finally, we excitedly celebrate the Chapel’s milestone 90th anniversary this year with a special Sunday of recognition (Sunday, August 1st)  and themes of remembrance throughout the summer. Reverend Dick McCaughey, in his 22nd year as our Pastor, will again lead us in worship in this celebratory time with a new 10 week sermon series. 

     Blessings to all as we optimistically enter this new summer season.
