HELP WANTED!
Our Chapel’s effectiveness depends solely on the support of volunteers. We are always looking for those who have a heart to serve through filling vital roles, both on Sundays and at other times in the month. If you feel called to give of your time and talents in such a way, please reach out to Nathalie Pyle at nrpyle@comcast.net. You can be certain that we’ll help you get connected and, in the process, to find fulfillment in putting your faith to work. LENTEN BIBLE STUDY A Chapel tradition is to spend the weeks prior to Easter Sunday in serious study on the theme of Christian discipleship. This year’s study will center around six key passages that help us to understand better what it means to bear Christ’s cross and to show our seriousness to journey with him through the Valley of the Shadow of Death into Easter glory. The studies are Wednesdays at 11 AM and will continue through the Wednesday of Holy Week, March 27. These studies will be interactive; everyone’s perspective will be important. So, mark these dates on your calendar and join us as we gather around Scripture to find the direction that will form us into truly Easter people. The remaining schedule is as follows: 3/6 – 2 Timothy 2:1-2 3/13 – John 13:34-35 3/20 – Romans 10:14-17 3/27 – Mark 8:34-38. HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE This year’s Holy Week begins on March 24 with our Palm Sunday worship at 11 AM. Maundy Thursday worship will begin at 4 PM, during which we will observe our last Communion for the season. We will have our Good Friday worship at 12 PM. Our Lenten observance will culminate with Easter worship on Sunday, March 31, at 11 AM. Be aware that we will anticipate a much larger attendance for Easter. We look forward to seeing you at each of these services. TIME CHANGE SUNDAY, MARCH 10 Daylight Saving Time begins next Sunday, March 10. Please remember to set your clocks ahead one hour so that we are ready to “spring forward” together as we continue our Lenten journey. CHAPEL “PORCH PARTY,” MARCH 17 @ 6 PM A relatively new tradition in Chapel life is the periodic “porch parties” that give our Chapel family the opportunity to come together for a time of fellowship and community-building. Started by former minister John Cedarleaf, these parties have come to hold a special place for so many Chapel attendees. COVID and Ian disrupted these gatherings, but now that folk are coming back on the island, the Chapel Board thought it a good time to resume them. So, make plans to gather at the Parsonage on March 17 at 6:00 PM as we celebrate yet another expression of our Chapel’s resilience in the face of all that so many have been through. |
Sermon Preview:
Sunday, March 17th: "The Time Is Drawing Near" John 12:20-33 The apex of faith is to see the cross as Jesus' pathway to glory, and ours as well. While some might see difficulties as evidence of God's displeasure, the truth of this season is that only through embracing the cross will we experience Easter glory. |
