Ministry Bulletin Highlights for Sunday

May 30, 2010

Need an announcement mentioned in the Ministry Bulletin? Maybe an upcoming event, an educational opportunity, celebration of a birthday or anniversary? Please give all information along with your email address and/or phone number to Barbara@chapelsta.org by Tuesday afternoon.  For facility reservations for meetings and events, please contact  the office at 483-8044 ext 2.

Join in The Spirit of the Chapel Campaign

Last Sunday we heard from our Vestry member Nancy McKirchy about the generosity of a devoted Chapel member who offered $30,000 to the Chapel towards the goal of making possible a full-time priest. We also learned of the Diocese's proposal to name the Rev. Debbie Self as the full time Priest-in-Charge if the congregation can match this generous offer. The congregation was asked to pray on this proposal. Our members have overwhelmingly responded to the challenge by offering $20,160 in new and/or additional pledges and gifts. For those who did not receive one, a "Tongues of Fire" pledge card is available at the back of the church or in the Chapel office. 

Please pray about how you can participate in our campaign.

 

Service Schedule

Weekday services and study groups are suspended during the summer months of June and July. 

 

The Vestry voted to offer as a general practice the Service of Healing Prayer and Laying on of Hands at both services the first Sunday of each month. In the event of a holy day or special celebration, the service of Healing Prayer and Laying on of Hands will be offered the third Sunday of the month.

 

 Happy Birthday

We wish a Happy Birthday to those celebrating birthdays this week: Joan Buttery.

 

 Stewardship

Pledge cards for 2010 are available the office or on the deck after services. Please prayerfully consider your giving for this new year. We give thanks for all God provides us and return a holy offering as thanksgiving.

 

As you plan for the summer vacation season, please remember to send in your weekly offering. Our expenses are ongoing and your help is needed.

 

Pastoral Plea

Anytime you are hospitalized or are planning to have surgery, please contact the church office so that our clergy know. The clergy visit the hospital daily and like to keep informed of those needing prayers and/or visitation. If you check in through emergency department, please identify yourself as an Episcopalian.

Family Promise

This past week the 35 member of the Chapel Family team hosted the guests in the program. Family Promise is as initiative in South Palm Beach County where multiple churches have banded together to house and feed homeless families who otherwise would be homeless. Chapel volunteers dedicate 5 weeks each year to provide shelter and food for theses families who otherwise would be homeless. Isn't this what God calls us to do? We are all so fortunate and blessed with the love of our immediate families and with the love of our Christian family. If you have any questions or would like to become involved, call team captains Will and Cheryl Harmon.

 

Flowers

If you would like to give flowers to the glory of God as a memorial or general thanksgiving, you may pick up a special Flower Offering envelope on the table outside the Chapel after the service. Your support helps us to glorify God in our worship on Sunday morning. 

 

 Prayer Requests

To add a name to the Chapel's prayer list, please contact Barbara in the Chapel office.  We will share the prayer list via email and start to share it next week in the Sunday Ministries Bulletin to ensure our community is supporting those asking for our prayers.

 

If you wish to be a member of the Chapel Prayer team, send an email to Barbara@chapelsta.org and request that you be added to the distribution list.

 

 Cursillo

If you are interested in attending a Crusillo weekend or have any questions about the application process, please contact Nancy McKirchy or call the office.

 

Harry Kapreilian Memorial

In December we lost our beloved sexton and member of the congregation, Harry Kapreilian. He lived the life of a dedicated servant of Christ and we greatly miss the great care he took of the Chapel. The vestry has received the recommendation to continue the Let Down Your Nets II Campaign with the plan to rename the Parish hall Conference Room, the Harry C. Kapreillian Memorial Conference Room. If you would like to contribute to this memorial, please make checks to the Chapel with a notation-Kapreilian Memorial. You may place them in the offering plate of mail them to the Chapel office.

Electronic Offering

The Chapel is now offering an Electronic Offering Program. This is an easy and convenient way you to make your offering to the church. Please consider enrolling by accessing the heart shaped Donate button on our website under contacts.
