Memorial Update
Following the May 7 congregational meeting, where we continued our conversation regarding the proposed memorial and received a strong show of support to move forward, we have: begun to explore further conversation with the artist and her team; identified several potential partners with whom we may want to engage as part of our living memorial; and discussed possible fund-raising strategies should the upcoming vote confirm your support to move forward with the project.
We are most grateful for your continued support and participation to date, and hope that you will come to the Annual Meeting on June 4 at 6:00 PM via Zoom to cast your ballot, for our new slate of church officers and also for the future of the proposed Memorial.

It was an emotional time when we said goodbye to our beloved Assistant Minister, David Waters. The weekend was as beautiful as everyone had hoped, from the moving music and readings at the special service on Saturday, to the festive spirit of the potluck featuring chicken and waffles, to the glorious Mother's Day Walk for Peace with hundreds of others walking in solidarity for peace and justice. As a farewell gift, and a thank you for his four years of service to King's Chapel, Kathe German presented him with a triptych of copies of three verses from the St. John's Bible. We are grateful to David for all he has offered to us these past years, and we wish him well as he continues his explorations.

The 27th Annual Mother’s Day Walk4Peace
This past Sunday, 16 King’s Chapel members and friends joined together for our 9th year of participation in the 4.3 mile walk, led by a group of survivors of the murder or suicide of a loved one. We were privileged to stand with them and for them, to work and walk with them for God’s peace for all.
The Louis D Brown Peace Institute is not only a place where survivors find immediate and long term help for the pain they suffer, but a place that transforms, with the goal for each of them, and for each of us, to seek and promote peace for all.
Thank you to all who walked and contributed monetarily to support this work. We will continue to gather donations through Father’s Day, so please join us in supporting this vital work. Click here to make a donation.
