Pequot Chapel, New London, Connecticut

Pequot Chapel, New London, Connecticut This charming Victorian-era chapel is non-sectarian and welcomes all who wish to join in Sunday worship during the summer and its special Christmas service

History of the Chapel
In 1872, Henry S. Crocker, the manager of the Pequot House, an elegant summer resort hotel, built a small chapel for non-sectarian worship near the hotel. The chapel is a fine example of the Carpenter Gothic Revival style espoused by Alexander Jackson Downing, which uses varying structure and color to enrich the building. Its design has been attributed to James Renwick. Buttr

esses in the rear of the chapel emphasize the gothic tradition while the board and batten construction stresses the rustic application of this style. Tiffany Windows
In the south transept of the chapel are two stained glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany, who was a regular summer visitor at the Pequot House. These enchanting windows are hung together in a side aisle, doubling their artistic impact. The windows were given to the chapel in 1895 by Mrs. William Woodward in memory of her husband, who donated the land for the chapel, and of his mother. The windows were placed next to the pews the Woodwards always occupied.

Rev Susan Olson returns to the Pequot Chapel tomorrow at 10:00 am for what will certainly be another wonderful service.

Pastor Olson, from the First Congregational Church of Lyme, is also the Associate Director, Student Accessibility Services at Yale University.

When you combine Susan with our organist Walden Moore, a Yale lecturer himself, we might just find ourselves transported to ivy covered walls in New Haven! 🙂 Why don’t you join us on the journey? You belong!

You belong with us!

So join us this Sunday at 10:00 for a very special service.

It’s a morning of music and prayer about loving your neighbor and caring for those in need.

In lieu of a sermon, Marvin Espy will share remarks about In His Steps, the grassroots effort in New London to connect people with causes and calls-to-action.

It will be fun and inspiring and we’d love to see you there!
