Upcoming Events
Opportunities to Celebrate Christmas at the Chapel!
Join us at the Chapel on Dec. 1 at 3:00 pm as Byerland Mennonite Church members will lead us in our annual Vespers Service. Martin Boehm was a member of Byerland Mennonite Church before he was excommunicated in 1775 for his radical Methodist views. But in 2016, in a service with Bishops of the Mennonite and United Methodist Churches, Martin Boehm was reinstated as a Mennonite Bishop emeritus.
We are blessed to have members of Byerland Mennonite involved with the United Methodists in the leadership of the Chapel Society. Advent is a wonderful time to come worship God in this beautiful historic place!
Boehm’s UMC will hold their candlelight Christmas Eve service at 10:00 pm in the Chapel on Dec 24. Contact the church office for more details – 717-464-4885.

Thanks for Your Support to Boehm's Chapel through ExtraGive!
Thanks to your faithful support, we received $1,935 through the ExtraGive event! Plus, we will get a portion of the shared pot when they figure everything out. This year’s giving will be used to support our programs, and for upkeep on the Historic Chapel and Tying Shed.
ExtraGive is a 24 hour event every November in which people across the Lancaster, PA community join together to financially support and highlight the work of non-profit organizations. The event is hosted by the Lancaster County Community Foundation with the financial support of many local foundations.
This is the 6th year that the Boehm’s Chapel Society participated in the program. We used the donations of the 2023 ExtraGive to help replace the Chapel roof.
Thank you for your continuing support of the Chapel’s mission!
Apple Butter was made Oct 12!
Boehm’s Chapel Society members made a couple batches of apple butter at the Boehm’s UMC Fall Fest on October 12, 2024. Visitors enjoyed tours the Chapel and the Tying Shed. Proceeds from the apple butter will be used for the maintenance and upkeep of the Historic Chapel. The apple butter was made the old-fashioned way in copper kettles over wood fires.
