This will mark the 13th year Chapel by the Sea has worked with Rise Against Hunger to provide meals for people with food insecurity. The organization provides pre-packaged dehydrated meals and lifesaving aid to countries around the world. This year we need 60-80 volunteers from the Chapel along with members of the community to gather to man funnel stations, scales, sealing machines, and packing stations to ensure delivery of over 10,000 meals. Each complete meal packet contains enough vital nutrients and vitamins to sustain a family of six for one day.
Rise Against Hunger has provided over 45.5 million meals to starving people in numerous countries. Chapel by the Sea will need your help and support to cover the cost of raw materials and transportation to the designated country. The Goal for 2026 is to raise $6200 from sponsorship and individual contributions.

The Way
Join us Thursday February 26 at 7pm Chapel Hall
for a viewing of the movie, The Way.
This holy season our Lenten Series is based upon this story.
The Way is a movie of man’s intentional journey, symbolic of life’s pathways.
The movie depicts a grieving father’s pilgrimage in honor of his late son. He walks along the Camino de Santiago, located in France and Spain.
Jesus went on such a pilgrimage, after his baptism by John in the River Jordan.
During the father’s pilgrimage, he was tempted to stray from the path - the movie and the Lenten series depict that we are often tempted to stray from God’s calling for us - yet it is in wandering that we often find ourselves.
Come Enjoy this movie so that this Lenten season has extra meaning for you as we worship each Sunday. Experience the symbolism and the message with a deeper understanding.
Popcorn and Soda/Pop/Coke will be served.
Sign up in Friendship Foyer or contact the office at 727-446-0430 to reserve your spot
