The Feast of St. James the Fisherman
Sunday, July 26th
9:30 AM
The finale of our 70th anniversary weekend is the annual celebration of our patron saint, James the Fisherman. This special liturgy contains elements of remembrance, thanksgiving, celebration, and forward movement. We will read the necrology, a list of persons associated with the Chapel who have died since its founding (in roughly chronological order); we will pray a special litany of thanksgiving, having in mind the joys and concerns of this community; we will offer thanks and praise in the great celebration of our faith, the Eucharist; and we will continue the feast with a lively reception on the patio following the service. Oysters, anyone?

Sing with us!
Wednesdays at 4:00
Singing is one of life’s great pleasures, and singing together can be a powerful spiritual expression. If you would enjoy additional opportunities to sing with friends, please join us in the chapel on Wednesdays at 4 pm through September 2.
We will explore some of the newer hymns scheduled on Sundays, and we’ll try our collective hand at some additional works. If time and interest warrant, we may form ourselves into a schola and sing, upon occasion, during Communion.
Please join us! — Peter Kosewski, Musician
