Chapel Services
We believe that guidance and healing can be obtained through prayer and worship. A non-denominational service is held every evening and offers our guests a moment of reflection and peace. The service lasts 30-minutes and is held after dinner. If guests are seeking additional religious guidance we also provide opportunities for Bible study and one on one counseling.
