CONSECRATION OF THE CHAPEL
MAY 18 2008
—————————————————————————
Construction of the Chapel and Parish Hall at Holy Comforter was completed in 1996, and after 12 years the Parish, by the Grace from God, was able to retire the debt. The Chapel will be consecrated to the Glory of God on the 18th. of May during the regular Sunday service. This will prove to be a very special time in the life of a Parish by the fact that it will only happen once.
