Upcoming Service
After weighing carefully the different factors of preparing for COVID-19, Eliot Chapel has decided to suspend all gatherings at the church at least through the end of April.
At 10:00 am on Sundays, we will have a video here on the homepage of our website and it will be available anytime after that. The video will also be available on the Eliot Chapel Facebook page which will allow you to comment and interact. We welcome your participation!
For more information on Eliot's plans for the coming months, please read this message from our lead minister, the Rev. Barbara H. Gadon. Thank you!
