DEDICATION OF THE PRAYER CHAPEL - February 5, 2020
on Wednesday, February 5, we dedicated our new little Sanctuary Prayer Chapel. The Chapel is a quiet little space that was originally the Sacristy when the church was built in the early 40’s. When a new sacristy was built behind the sanctuary, it became a hallway and storage area. A team led by Maggie Lea, our church historian, renovated the space. Parishioner Dr. Matt Miller designed and created the beautiful wall cross made out of koa wood, matching the koa wood table given by Linda Sproat. The Chapel also features a portrait of Queen Liliʻuokalani and a prie dieu (kneeler) and small pew. It’s a lovely place to sit and read or pray. |
DR. MATT MILLER INSPIRED TO HAND CARVE A CROSS FOR OUR PRAYER CHAPEL
Dr. Matt Miller volunteered to make a cross for Christ Memorial’s Prayer Chapel. He says he was inspired by his “angel” who showed him a vision of a living cross. He drew what he saw in that vision. But he did not know any way of carving what he had drawn. Again, his “angel” appeared, showing him a vision of carving techniques that made it possible to render her design in wood. He brought the finished cross to Christ Memorial, as a gift for the baby Jesus, on Christmas morning, 2019. |
