Children’s Program

Last summer we rejoiced as our Chapel launched a Sunday Children’s Program, a long and much awaited gathering of our youngest members. Each occasion was a celebration of God focusing on community, love and kindness. We joyfully sang songs, read Christian stories, built a bible village, created uplifting cards and paper flowers for our congregation, played games and basked in the warmth of our church family with a true sense of belonging. This coming summer we look forward to building upon our experience and expanding our lessons by partnering with Chapel Outreach efforts, all while greeting familiar faces and welcoming new friends.

The Children’s Program will take place during the Chapel service on non-beach service Sundays (July 9, 23, 30; August 13 and 27). Children will begin the Chapel service with their families, coming together during the service and transitioning to ‘AMEN’ for singing, crafts, stories, and community building. Please know that in addition to fun, safety will be top of mind.

We very much look forward to welcoming children ages 3-12 and hope you will register your children and grandchildren by clicking here. Please contact Chrissi Crampton (chrissicrampton@gmail.com) if you are interested in helping or if you have any questions.

This effort paves the way towards a vibrant sustaining congregation, and we are extremely grateful for your participation. We cannot wait to see you and your families at Chapel this summer!

Behold! Commemorative Book

What started out as a history of the Chapel's tradition of needlepoint kneelers turned into a history of the Chapel and its closely intertwined relationship with the village of 'Sconset. That book, Behold: The Siasconset Union Chapel, was published in 2008 and truly commemorates the chapel's rich history.

The beautiful book, written by Patricia Butler, photographed by Jeffrey Allen and designed by Kathleen Hay, features behind the scenes and amusing stories of chapel life, as well as its history and ministires. In addition, every one of the chapel's gorgeous, handmade kneelers is pictured in all its needlepoint glory. And, the book also features many excellent historic photographs which document the chapel's growth and evolution for much of its 135 years.

The book is for sale at the Chapel on Sundays and the Chapel is open to the public weekdays during the summer from 10 AM-12 PM. Behold is also available at island bookstores.
