From the Minister
When I was in divinity school, I often attended the weekly ecumenical church service on Thursday mornings. What I remember most is what we happened after confession. The service leader would say: Rise, people of God, as you are able, and say these words of assurance, that we are forgiven.
Together, every week, we’d say:
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God.
The words are from Paul’s letter to the Romans: Nothing, nothing, nothing can separate us from God’s love. Click here to read more.

In July we are open to share the chapel with visitors 7 days a week! Our hours are Sunday 1:30-5:00 PM, and Monday- Saturday 10:00 AM- 5:00 PM. (On Tuesdays, History Program closes from 11:15 AM- 1:30 PM for the midday recital, to which all are welcome.) Guided tours continue on their usual schedule and ticket prices, now including Sunday afternoon tours.
Please enjoy July's "Revolutionary King's Chapel" exhibit in the back of the Sanctuary. It shares the experiences of loyalists, patriots, and those caught somewhere in between, during that era of conflict and change.
