                                      We are so thrilled that we will be able to worship together,

                                      in-person, this Sunday, April 11, at 10AM. By adhering to the

                                      CDC guidelines, we hope that everyone will feel safe and

                                      be able to participate fully in the service.

 

                                      At the conclusion of the service, Chapel will hold its annual

meeting to present a group of new Elders as well as vote on the Pastor’s terms of call. To access reports, click on the Annual Reports button.

 

Following the meeting, everyone is invited to a limited Coffee Hour. We are asking everyone to be mindful of social distancing on the Veranda and in Silver Hall. Each table will seat four people. Pastries will be individually wrapped and coffee will be served when requested.

Recent studies have shown significant health benefits for those drinking 2-3 cups of coffee per day.

​

Caffeine is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about coffee.  Many avoid caffeine because of rapid heartbeat, anxiety, jitteriness and insomnia. Some however are less sensitive and can drink coffee all day long without unpleasant effects.

 

Studies have shown that caffeine protects against Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.  Just one cup of coffee per day has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke. Caffeine can ward off heart failure. It may reduce the risk of developing diabetes.  It has been shown to reduce the risk of suicide.

 

Though some of the benefits of drinking coffee can be related to caffeine, coffee beans contain many other substances, which may improve your health. Coffee is rich in antioxidants, which are anti-inflammatory and protect against heart disease and stroke. Both regular and decaffeinated coffee help prevent liver disease and reduce risk of colon cancer.  

 

With all these benefits, there is no recommendation to take up the habit.  Pregnant women should certainly avoid caffeine.  And you probably already know if coffee is not for you.  Rather there is no need now to feel guilty about your daily fix, so long as you don't load it with sugar, syrups and cream!
