CHAPEL DEDICATION “In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” -Paul Bunyan

Swiss Village recently completed the renovation of the old library into a space for a quiet intimate Chapel. As Christians we

Daryl L. Martin, Executive Director

understand that we can reach out to God at any time and in anyplace. Yet experientially there are some places that are more conducive to worship. The creation of this chapel is intended to be such a place. Residents gathered in the hall outside the Chapel on February 12th for a dedication and ribbon cutting. Rev. Jerry Flueckiger led a devotional and offered a prayer of commitment. Anna V. Liechty assisted with the ribbon cutting. Thanks also to George Buhler, Dave Bauman,

and Paul Zerby for their contributions of creative workmanship. The Chapel provides residents and families a private space that allows for a more reflective personal experience than a large open area. It is intended to be a place for personal prayer, meditation and devotional reading, but also enough space for small groups. Persons should feel free to close the door if they desire privacy. We trust that God’s Spirit can use this Chapel as a place for healing and hope to all who seek him.
