The Bookstore/Chapel is still in progress. There are so many things that combine to be part of it. I have been primarily working with the Town to get things in motion. We are stalled temporarily on changing a doorway, putting in exit lights and pricing a parking pad for wheelchair accessible use. This is an old building that we have our eyes on and are really not in any position financially to pay for big updates. We have gone to the owner to see if he will be willing to make those changes. We certainly pray so as it seems a wonderful space for this to happen. Keep us in your prayers!
Along with the idea of the chapel I have been looking at a very interesting website, Ancient Faith Radio, which is full of pod casts that are from great speakers, even readings of childrens books. They have workshops in Byzantine Chant which is just what I need to learn for the readers services. I can do straight chanting...but it will be great to build my knowledge and see what I can do with this.

Pictured above is St. Romanos the Saint par excellence of chanters and song writers of the Orthodox Church. St. Romanos pray for our memory and learning ability!
You can link backwards from here and see what else is offered. I downloaded the different tones so I can practice in the car as I travel. What a great thing!
