"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105).
"The hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of the darkness and put on the armor of light" (Romans 13:11–12).

Dear Chapel Family,
We want you to know we have re-opened for Worship on the weekend beginning June 6. We have not made that decision lightly, knowing that more than 100,000 people in our country have died from this pandemic. We made this decision based on conversations with public health officials and government officials, with an eye to Synod and District guidelines, and through much dialogue with our neighboring Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod churches. Having said that, we will reopen with great caution and with a number of changes to how we gather and worship. For now, the only acceptable approach is to minimize risk, which means employing all suggested CDC guidelines for public gatherings.
Chapel of the Cross In-Person Worship Guidelines:
Finally, in order to be able to worship in person while allowing for social distancing, we need your help. We will add two Saturday services (at 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.) during this transitional time. We will still have the Sunday 8:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services and the Monday 7:00 p.m. service, as well as the Wednesday 11:00 a.m. service (set aside for higher risk members). The pews and Narthex will be cleaned between services. We highly encourage you to abide by the following guidelines:
1. If you usually worship at the Monday 7:00 p.m. service or the Wednesday 11:00 a.m. service, then please continue to do so.
2. If you usually would not worship Monday at 7:00 p.m. but would like to for the time being, then please do. We anticipate being able to accommodate the current Monday night crowd with more added to that service.
3. If you are 75 years or older, please consider attending the Wednesday 11:00 a.m. service. If you are not in this higher risk category and would normally not have attended this service, please allow this service to remain exclusively for our most at-risk members. We feel we can accommodate those who regularly attended and our 75 and older members at this service.
4. If you regularly attended Sunday 8:00 a.m. or 10:45 a.m. services, we ask that you would alternate throughout the summer between the newly offered Saturday and your normal Sunday services if possible. Here is what we suggest and encourage you to do:
If your last name begins with A–K, worship on Saturday, June 6, at 4:30 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. If your last name begins with L–Z, worship on Sunday, June 7, at 8:00 a.m. or 10:45 a.m. The following week, June 13–14, L–Z worship on Saturday and A–K on Sunday. Obviously, this may not be possible every week, but if we all try our best to accommodate this schedule, it will help us keep Worship safer, more evenly distributed, and orderly. Our goal is to have 80–100 people per service on Saturday and Sunday to accommodate our average weekend attendance. As always, our Livestream will be available every Sunday at 8:00 a.m. and then On Demand at chapelofthecrosslutheran.org/online.
