The Village Chapel An Enduring Vision of Christian Unity

“It is believed by many that the influence of the Chapel is far reaching and that its message going out

Sunday by Sunday to its world congregation, will have great effect in uniting the Christian forces of the

land into a fellowship and a brotherhood unit until it can be said again as it was said of old: ‘See how

these Christians love one another.’” The Rev’d William B. Hannon, “The Pinehurst Outlook,” November, 1924.

As The Village Chapel begins its second century of worship and service to God, we are emboldened by

our founding principles of Christian unity and community service, which were inspired by the words and

example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; through His death and resurrection; the Great Commission;

and His prayer for unity “that we all may be one.”

Located in the center and present at the inception of a community of religious expression - and seeking to

be in harmony with the fellowship that has been a basic principle in the Village of Pinehurst - The Village

Chapel offers a unique and gracious vision to its members and the community beyond: The actual reality

of a church that is thankful for, dependent on, and inspired by the saving grace of Jesus Christ; a church

that is welcoming, prayerful, and pre-eminent in the life of our community; and a church that—without

regard for religious divisions within the Body of Christ—will always proclaim in thought, word, and deed

the Good News that we are all united in Jesus Christ!

“This Chapel will always stand for Christian Unity. Any one who reads the 17th Chapter of St. John will

believe that we are carrying out the desires of Jesus Christ. We believe that there is a deep blessedness in

Christian fellowship. In whatever household of faith you were born, whatever creed you now profess, you

can come to this sanctuary and feel at home in your Father’s house. Our constant prayers rise to the

throne of God for our nation in these days that call for sacrifice, courage and faith. We cordially invite

you to worship with us.” The Village Chapel’s welcoming statement, 1924.

* Nicene Creed ( People )

I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible:

and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of

God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made; being of one substance with the Father; by

whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven, and was

incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man: and was crucified also for us under

Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures: and

ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father: and He shall come again, with glory, to

judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the

Lord and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son

together is worshiped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one catholic and Apostolic

Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: and I look for the Resurrection of the dead:

and the Life of the world to come. Amen.

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: we acknowledge and

bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time, most grievously have committed by

thought, word, and deed, against Thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly Thy wrath and indignation

against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. The remembrance of

them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most

in us. Amen.

very members incorporate in the mystical body of Thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful

people; and are also heirs through hope of Thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of his most precious death

and passion. And we humbly beseech Thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with Thy grace, that we may

continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through

Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup

runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the

LORD forever.
