Christ Chapel Celebrates 35 Years

Christ Chapel celebrated its 35th anniversary on Sunday, April 30, 2006.  It was a glorious celebration,
with the founder of Metropolitan Community Churches Rev. Elder Dr. Troy Perry
as our special guest speaker.  Our official church photographer Mark Hahn snapped 598! photos
and sent this message: "It may be a day or two getting to all the photos –
I was a “clicking fool”! But so much rich material – and such a great service!!  BRAVO."

While Mark sorts through his photos here are a few previews from the service
taken with a handheld and sometimes shaky camera.
