Friends of the Chapel

The part played by Girton Chapel in college life is diverse and extends well beyond the regular observance of the Christian liturgy. The chapel is not just a building; it is a community and a haven.

Many are first drawn to it by the high standard of music provided by the choir, the new St Martin organ and by College's instrumentalists and visiting musicians. Others take refuge in this quiet oasis at times of emotion or stress, or seek pastoral care from the chapel community. College has always felt that its chapel is there for use by all members – those of all faiths and none.

Friends and Patrons of the Chapel are vital in maintaining this important aspect of college life. Funds raised by the Friends in the past have been used to improve the fabric of the building, purchase new hymn books, pew Bibles and books for the chapel library. The Friends' funds also support the choir's chapel performances by providing a tea for the choir and congregation after the Sunday service.

As a Friend of the Chapel, you will receive an annual newsletter and you are, of course, most welcome to join us at any of the chapel services. In addition to this, Patrons will also be given the opportunity to have a personalised book plate in one of the chapel library's books.
