Chapel at Bryndwr: The chapel in our building at Bryndwr was intended to be a space for prayerful contemplation, where members would feel comfortable going to sit quietly alone or with one another for introspection and prayer. I’m wondering if the artists and craftspeople in our community would be interested in creating appropriate artwork that would enhance the sense that this is sacred space. Joy.
