The Chapel of the Incarnation, affectionately known as Chapel House, sits across from Library West as a welcoming spiritual home and oasis, and hang-out--where the fullness of the Christian faith is put into practice. We gather for worship two times a week--on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 and Sunday nights at 5.30. We are blessed with a gifted musicians at both services. We have snacks or sweets following all our worship services as a time of fellowship. During the fall and spring terms, we have a delicious home-cooked meal, provided by a local Episcopal church, after our service.  Folks come by and use our beautiful study and prayer garden, or stop by to visit, check their facebook in our study lounge, have a soft drink or cup of hot chocolate, play a game of pool or ping-pong, and generally hang out.

We offer weekly Bible study, NOOMA, and various series throughout the year in Christian spirituality.  We gather to watch and discuss videos, play board games like scrabble.   We will host the Episconoles from Tallahassee as we square off on the football field. And of course we gathered last year to watch the National Championship Game, cheering our Gators to be the #1 football team in the nation!  We helped with the clean-up of Sweet Water Creek on Payne's Prairie, served food at the local homeless shelter, and worked with Christians Concerned for the Community.  In May of 2009, the Episcogators and Episconoles (both outreach ministries of the Diocese of Florida) traveled to Galveston to assist with restoration after the devastations of Hurricane Ike. We had a Lenten Retreat at Camp Weed (our diocesan camp) and participated in Hillel's Seder meal.  We had a series on prayer, offered an Inquirer's Class which led to numerous Chapelites participating in the Confirmation service (it was grand to have Bishop Howard with us!), and participated in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
