VTS Chapel Opens Soon

The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham of Virginia Theological Seminary writes on his Dean’s Commentary weblog:

The opening liturgy in the Chapel (God willing and yes the Occupancy Certificate from the City permitting) will be February 12 at 7 p.m. You are all invited. Bishop Shand is the celebrant; Rev. Alexander from Immanuel Church on the Hill is the preacher; and I will be the liturgical deacon. We are hoping that most of the liturgies for the Visit Weekend will happen in our new chapel.
