Chapel Gift

The Chapel of the Holy Spirit at our Dementia Care West Columbia, SC has recently been given a Memorial Gift in memory of Bill and Doris Willoughby by their son, The Reverend Fr. William Willoughby. The gift consists of a complete set of four Chasubles with matching stoles appropriate for the different seasons of the liturgical year. These are worn by the priest who is leading worship with Holy Communion, or the Lord's Supper. Red is used for Palm Sunday, Pentecost Sunday and special Saints' Days. Green is used for Epiphany and the season of Pentecost. Purple is used for Advent and Lent and White is used for Christmas, Easter, funerals, weddings and other special days. It will be thrilling as we go through the year and remember Bill and Doris Willoughby by the tangible reminder of their dedicated service during their tenure with us. Bill was an important member of the Lay Reader team and a great supporter of the Chapel. Doris was also a very faithful worshipper in the Chapel at Still Hopes.

This gift along with all the others in the past is a reminder that our Chapel is made possible entirely by contributions. It is certainly an integral part of life in this community, and a symbol of our connection with God.
