Chaplaincy at Pathfinder Village is one of the approved Advance Specials of the Wyoming Annual Conference. Ding, Ding, Dong, Dong. Lance is ringing the Chapel Bell.
Today is special.
Chapel clearly is something that returns to many minds through the week, particularly when they meet Pastor Lyle strolling along the Pathfinder Village's sidewalks or joining in some fun with them, or bringing newsletters to be folded by Nancy Kelly's class at the Village school, or having dinner on a Tuesday evening with the residents in one of their homes. He and his wife, Mary Ann feel that the more they can share themselves with all their parishoners in their daily life, the more present they can be in times of need as well as in times of growth and celebration. This summer everyone at Pathfinder Village shared in a special experience as Pastor Lyle and Mary Ann exchanged parishes with Rev. Dennis Bussey and his wife, Ruth from Wimborne Minister, England. Pastor Dennis and Ruth stayed at the Village and were able to share in countless ways from their life and ministry in England with everyone at Pathfinder Village. Rev. Lyle Linder has been the chaplain at Pathfinder Village for the past four years and is seeking to lift up the natural faith and spiritual vitality which is the life blood and soul of everyday life at Pathfinder Village, a community near Edmeston, New York, of 82 persons with Down Syndrome and over 100 staff, which seeks to enable the expression of the maximum meaning and value of every life touched by the Village.
