Letter of introduction

Thank you for agreeing to provide a chapel service for us at this year's Arts Conference. The candlelight service has a long tradition at Star Island, of which you are now a part. If you have never given a chapel at Star before, the experience of having the light brought to you as people silently wind their way up the hill will be something that you can add to your Star magic bag.

You should plan something that will last for approximately 20-25 minutes, which can include singing, poetry, words of your own or those of others. Please time your service so that you don't exceed these times.

There is nothing that you "must" do. However, we strongly encourage you to use live music rather than CDs. Your topic is your own choice, and we have had as may varieties of services as there were people leading them, from services that were music from beginning to end, to ones that were so quiet you could feel the silence. Also, you may invite other conferees to participate in the service with you.

Remember to bring a flashlight if the lights from the candles are not bright enough for you (they're not bright enough for most people, so don't feel you need to read by candlelight).

You will want to arrive to the chapel about ten minutes before the scheduled starting time to make sure that your materials are in order and that the sound system is up and running.

If you have any questions or need some assistance with music, please feel free to contact xxx (xx@gmail.com) or xxxx (xxx@comcast.net) either before or during the conference.

Thank you again.
