CHRISTMAS PARTY

Christmas Party at the home of Marie Dunkle and Barbara Beckham  Potluck with "ornament exchange". More details closer to the date, but for now start looking for that perfect ornament for the ornament exchange!

LAST WEEK

This past Sunday, we enjoyed the music of John Howarth, Ruth Henry, and Kathy Putnam.


Rev. Dr. Randy Doster presented the message "The Word" and Rev. Mark Stein led our meditation.


Videos of the this service will be available online later this week along with video from our 11/13 and 11/27 services.

Then, before Potluck, we took time for the Annual Board Meeting in which we affirmed the 2025 Board members, reviewed the chapel's financials, activities of the past year, and plans for the future, and answered members questions. Board Chair, Jen Utley, then closed the meeting asking members to truly think about and contact Board members with their hopes and desires for the chapel.


For those who could not attend in person, you can use these links to view the meeting or review the financials.
