Chapel Dedicated at
Century VillaKentury Fields
The new chapel which is part
of an expansion project at
Century VilldCentury Fields
was dedicated August 20. The
event was attended by
approximately 65 residents,
families, and staff, some who
openly expressed tears ofjoy at
the fact that the day had finally
arrived. Janet Lemler, Director
of Nursing, Owner, welcomed
those in attendance and
explained the hopes and
a s p i r a t i o n s f o r t h e
chapel/ community room. The
3,600 square foot room will be
utilized by the entire population
of Century Villa and Century
Fields and their families,
sharing events, spiritual
services, and daily activities.
Pastor John O'Brien and wife
Elsie shared in the celebration
and have been long awaiting
this day. He lead the group in
prayer and asked the Blessing
of the Lord be bestowed upon
all those who have occasion to
participate in the activities of
the chapel. The attendees were
lead in song by Paula Shock,
who leads a volunteer prayer
group at Century Fields. Music
was provided by Lois Morris,
Century Villa's charge nurse,
playing a Baby Grand piano
graciously donated to the
chapel by the family of Miriam
Jeffcries.
When learning of the new
chapel, a Bible was presented in
memory of Ella Smith, a past
resident, by her family. It will
have its home in the chapel.
As news of the opening has
spread, the staff has received
requests by several outside
groups to entertain the residents
in the community room such as
a banjo player, a children's
choir group, and a weekly
educational program complete
with slides and lecture. As an
example of its diverse use,
requests have ranged from the
joy of a wedding held August
25th of Century Villa's Asst.
Director of Nursing to a more
somber request by a resident's
desire to have their wake held
at the facility.
These events will be able to
be shared by all residents
unable to attend by tuning in to
