Outreach updates

Samaritan's Purse

Samaritan's Purse continues to provide critical relief in Venezuela following a devastating disaster that has claimed thousands of lives and left many more injured. Through local church partnerships, emergency relief supplies have reached more than 15,000 households, while a 56-bed Emergency Field Hospital is providing lifesaving medical care to those in need.
In addition to medical assistance, clean drinking water is being produced through desalination units serving affected communities. Most importantly, Samaritan's Purse staff and church partners are sharing the hope of the Gospel, praying with survivors, and equipping local pastors to minister to those recovering from trauma.

Wears Valley Ranch

Thank you for your faithful support of Wears Valley Ranch and its mission to provide a safe, loving home where children can heal and grow. Your prayers and generosity continue to make a lasting difference.

Please pray for a new resident, George, who will be arriving on July 31 as he adjusts to life at the Ranch. Above all, pray that each child's heart will be open to the Gospel and that the staff will faithfully reflect Christ's love as they serve these children each day.

The Nest

Thanks to our generous Chapel family donations, we raised just over $5000 from the Baby Bottle Blessings this year.  The Nest is very grateful for all contributions, so thank you one and all who participated in this life saving ministry!

Volunteer Opportunities

Friendship pad collection

We're looking for a few volunteers to help collect the completed Friendship Pads after the second worship service each Sunday. 

Candle Filler

We're looking for volunteers to help prepare our sanctuary for Sunday worship by filling the altar candles.
This is a simple but meaningful way to help serve, ensuring everything is ready for our worship services each Sunday. The task is flexible and can be completed at your convenience during the week.

Petal Pushers

Our Petal Pushers are looking for volunteers to help create beautiful bouquets from our Sunday altar flowers. These bouquets are delivered to church members who are ill, facing difficult circumstances, or simply in need of a little extra encouragement. Your time and creativity can brighten someone's day and remind them they are loved and prayed for.
If any of these volunteer opportunities are calling you or you would like more information please email info@ameliachapel.com

Lost & Found

If anyone is looking for a gold hoop earring, please stop by the Chapel office or email us at info@amelichapel.com to claim.
