The East Raymond Chapel UCC, a historic little summertime congregation on Route 85 across from the Raymond Town Hall, will be opening on June 3 for Sunday morning services.
The Chapel, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, holds services at 8:30 a.m. each Sunday during the summer months. Built in 1890, it has been a Raymond landmark for 122 years.
The Rev. Joyce A. Long, pastor of the Chapel, says there is a “small but loyal congregation” that includes a number of year-round residents as well as Maine visitors and summertime residents who return year after year.
The Rev. Long is the year-round pastor of the Casco Village Church United Church of Christ in Casco, Maine and invites everyone to join her in a unique summertime worship experience. The Chapel features an old pump organ and both churches offer special music every Sunday of the summer.
