The sea grape trees are brimming with fruit this time of year. Drop by and see it for yourself, anytime you desire!

Our historic Chapel features Sunday services from the 2nd Sunday in November, through the month of April...and we encourage you to drop by for a visit any time of the year!

Rev. John Cedarleaf and Mrs Susen Berg. Susen was President of the Chapel by the Sea Board of Associates when Rev. John began his 3-year term here at our Chapel and she was among those who attended his last service yesterday. On behalf of a grateful community, we bid you Godspeed, dear John!

Our 11:00 worship service on Sunday, April 28th will be the last of this season. We sure hope you'll stop by and take this opportunity to bid farewell to Rev. John Cedarleaf as he completes his 3-year term at Captiva Chapel by the Sea. Our 2019-2020 season opens in November, as we welcome Rev. Larry Marshall to our Captiva community!

Hallelujah! He is Risen!

It's the last "Porch Party" of our 2018-2019 season. Here's your chance to come by and experience the wonderful open-house gatherings Reverend Cedarleaf introduced 3 seasons ago and also bid him farewell as, in accordance to our Chapel by-laws, this gem-of-a-friend's 3 year session will end on April 28th. All are welcome...and we hope to see YOU on the porch!

Here on Captiva on Christmas eve, hymns were sung, prayerful voices heard and candles lit. Now, through January 5, 2019, our churchyard holiday lights remain illuminated to bask in the glow of the Christ Child's birth.

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

Two memorable bell-ringers from our 2017-2018 season...

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. 1 Cor. 13:7-8 Thank you Melanie and Trish, for allowing Captiva Chapel By The Sea to be part of your special day!

Take 30 seconds to experience Christmas on Captiva...your historic Captiva Chapel by the Sea, and the sounds of Gulf waves crashing on our clean, sandy beach. So much to be grateful for!

Johnny Jensen has been a welcome part of our Carol Sing since he was 6 years old. No longer our "Little Drummer Boy", we were thrilled this 14 year old island neighbor chose to move into his next chapter in our Captiva Chapel by the Sea community, by performing "White Christmas" at last Sunday's Carol Sing.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." -Matthew 25:35

We'll watch over the place this summer...

Today, ringing the old chapel bell was Reverend George and Mrs Kathy Morris. The entire community wishes them fond fare-thee-well, peace, and much laughter in their days ahead!
