Refreshments for Coffee Hour
Refreshments are served, week in and week out, in the Canterbury House immediately following the 10:00 am service at The Chapel. This simple act of hospitality is important to us at The Chapel. People throughout the life of the church sign up to provide food for a handful of Sundays each year. To sign up, contact the parish office at 217-344-1924, or contact JoAnne Geigner.
