We welcome all to come and see the Prayer Chapel (formerly the Children’s Chapel; on Main Street just south of the Lounge). The intent of the space is not to be limited just to children, but open for anyone to use whenever the church is open. It is a place to pray or sit in peace. It will have different items to help with prayer and meditation that you are welcome to use to guide your time.
