March 19th Service - It was "Pantry Sunday" at Captiva Chapel by the Sea. We collected nonperishable food items for two of our Mission Partners: FISH of SanCap, and the South Fort Myers Food Pantry. A very special thank you goes out to our Mission Chair, Kathy Knoblauch. We were also visited by 2023-2026 Pastor Candidate Doug Dortch and his wife, Judy. And, the biggest news, Dixie Libonate took a nice nap during the service. To see more photos, visit our 2023 Photo Album.

2023 Opening Service at the Chapel
After several months of strictly online services due to Hurricane Ian, on January 29th, Captiva Chapel by the Sea held its first in-person service. Because of the ongoing construction and repairs to the interior of the chapel, services were held outside.
The day was bright and warm, the friendships even warmer. Over 100 people attended, including many "regulars" among them. Former Chapel president, Susie Berg, and Jim were greeters. To see more photos, visit our 2023 Photo Album.

The service began with a youngster tugging on the bell’s rope. Rhys Reimenschneider did the honors. (His parents beamed.)

Lynne Dugan, music director, had her keyboard. The Chapel organ is in safety in Tampa while the Chapel floor is replaced. Pastor Larry's sermon revealed the wonders of our "blessings".
|
|
Many stayed to enjoy the after-service hospitality. Our tradition of throwing open the garage for drinks and goodies was craved by many displaced and rebuilding locals. Many “reunions” occurred through the morning. The “reunion” experience enhanced the spiritual one.

If you missed the service, please join us next Sunday, February 5th, in person at the Chapel, or visit our YouTube Channel. All are welcome! |

All Are Welcome
Captiva Chapel by the Sea is where all are welcome regardless of their religious beliefs. We are an interdenominational ministry serving South West Florida's winter season and are recognized in the National Register of Historic Places.
Captiva Chapel By The Sea nurtures a strong community within and we also are committed to supporting mission outreach in the broader community.
There is no membership roster at our church, yet a motivated and enthusiastic group of volunteers manage to get things done "in God's time."
Historically, Captiva Chapel By The Sea has relied solely on support provided entirely by Sunday plate collections and voluntary gifts. With your support, we continue that tradition today.
