Chapel Newsletter Summer 2010

Our weekly celebration of Holy Eucharist this summer is at 10am. Following our time of worship, we gather for fellowship and to talk about what we said and prayed about during our worship.

At the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, you always have a place at the table whether you are a life-long Christian, a seeker, or just looking for a good conversation. We welcome you to be with us on Sunday and to come just as you are!

Please join us Sunday for our celebration of Pentecost followed by a Crawfish Boil!

We’ll begin with our weekly celebration of Holy Eucharist at 10am, and then move out into our courtyard for Crawfish and fellowship.

Many folks choose to wear red to represent the flaming tongues of the Holy Spirit that descended upon the early saints (and perhaps to honor our crawfish friends who are the most distinguished guests at the feast).

Most of all, it will be a time to reconnect with old friends and gather together to enjoy the community we hold dear. Please join us!

Hey Hey everybody! We’ll have a slight change in our schedule this weekend due to all the happenings in Episcopalianville.

For one thing, our Bishop elect Morris Thompson will be consecrated this Saturday at 10 am in Christ Church Cathedral. Be there or be square.

Next, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church USA will be celebrating Eucharist just down Zimple at St. Andrew’s at 10am! We’ll gather at 9am for optional morning prayer at the Chapel, and then head on down to see our Primate. She rocks, so you should come with us!

Oh Happy Day! We had a lovely celebration with Bishop James Brown on Sunday. Three people were baptized, 6 people confirmed, 2 people received, and 2 reaffirmed their faith.  It was a joyous day of growth and a time to welcome friends into the body of the church!

Here is August – happy to have been baptized and in his own words “now he dosn’t need to take a shower!”

Our friends from Loyola blessed us by accompanying the organ with their beautiful string music.

Our Bishop Elect, the Very Rev. Morris Thompson and family also blessed us by their attendance.

Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom every family in heaven and earth is named, grant us to be strengthened with might by his Holy Spirit, that, Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith, we may be filled with all the fullness of God. Amen.

We had a beautiful celebration of Easter – full of flowers, light, and good fellowship! Here are a few pictures from the morning:

GLORIOUS EASTER TO YOU!

He is Risen! Spring is here! Hallelujah!

Join us at the Chapel this week as we’ve returned to our usual schedule:

Thursday, Centering Prayer 5pm

Saturday, 10am-3pm Retreat Day

Sunday, 10am and 7pm – Holy Eucharist followed by coffee & sermon discussion in the morning, and by dinner in the evening

Also, looking ahead: we’ll be rebuilding houses next Saturday (April 17th), and on Sunday (April 18th), we will have ONE COMBINED SERVICE of Holy Eucharist at 11am as we celebrate Baptisms, Confirmations, & Receptions with Bishop James Brown!

“And on that darkest of days, each of us must stand beneath the tree and watch the dying if we are to be there when the stone is rolled away. The only road to Easter morning is through the unrelenting shadows of that Friday. Only then will the dancing begin.”

-Ann Weems, from her poem ‘Holy Week’
