What’s Happening at Chapel
We are a mission for Jesus Christ and a church for all seasons, seasons of life-seasons of the year-seasons of growth as Christians.
As the holiday seasons approach and our thoughts turn to gratitude, hope and joy it seems a perfect time to mention some of the mission work that Chapel is involved in throughout the year.
Our “God’s Table” serves free breakfasts to the needy in our community Mon-Fri, from 7 to 8:30 am. Participants can enjoy fellowship, breakfast, a bag lunch for later, a shower and a change of clothes. St. Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army, and our Parish nurse are also available at certain times to provide other forms of assistance.
We frequently work at a Soup Kitchen in Immokalee where we serve the migrant workers and their families. We generally make this trip twice a month; our next trip is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 29. The Chapel bus leaves at 9:45 a.m. Please call the office to reserve your seat.
Operation Christmas Child is our Christmas mission in which we put together a shoe box gift to share with a child far, far away hoping to send the message that “Somebody out there loves me”. This message at the heart of the Christmas story is being shared with millions of children who are hungry for hope, who have never had a Christmas gift, who don’t know about how much Jesus loves them. It’s easy to be a part of this ministry or any of our other missions at Chapel and we always welcome volunteers. Please call the office for more information.
Don’t forget! Cypress Lake High School Center for the Arts Orchestra will be in concert on Saturday. Oct. 30 at 2:00 pm. Free will offering.
For further information on any of our services and/or programs please fell free to call the office at 463-3173 or visit our website at www.Chapelbts.org .

Physical, psychological, mental, spiritual and relational problems all need to be healed in order to find wholeness and fully respond to God’s love for us. If you don’t need a special prayer, we invite you to stay and pray for others.
4. Operation Christmas Child: There are children around the world who have never received a Christmas present. Imagine their surprise when they open a gift box specially made for them from Samaritan’s Purse. What that means to this child is: “Somebody out there loves me.” That message- at the heart of the Christmas story- is being shared with millions of children who are hungry for hope. Each child who receives a shoe box gift also receives a book of the Gospel in their language. There are pamphlets available at the Chapel with detailed instructions as well as shoe boxes for filling should you need one. If you would like to participate in Chapel’s Christmas mission, please contact the office. The deadline for returning the gifts is Nov. 7.
