Help Us Take the Food to the Pantry on Thanksgiving Day!

Plan to stick around after the Thanksgiving Day worship service and help us move it in assembly line fashion to the food pantry in the south parking lot! It’s a lot of fun and goes very quickly!

What is the Chancel?

Chancel: One of two main divisions of the worship space. It is the part of the building where the altar is located, that is, on its actual or so-called liturgical east end. In most church buildings the chancel is one or two steps higher than the nave.

Nave: The large, central area of the church building where the congregation (people) gathers for the service. In traditional churches the nave contains two or more rows of pews (benches) from front to back. Many churches of more modern architectural style have chairs that can be arranged or moved depending on what kind of service is held. To the east of the nave is the chancel and to the west is the narthex.

Narthex: The entryway leading from the outside of the church into the nave. The narthex is located at the liturgical west end of the building.
