Chapel of the Valley

THE DREAM
Johnie Lee Fain's dream was to build a Chapel. Not an ordinary structure, but one comfortably nestled with the Spirit of God. A safe haven that provided comfort and refuge to all who entered. Johnie's passion was passed on to her daughter, Carolyn, "Sue" Fain. The sanctuary we behold today was built with money donated by Sue, as a final tribute to her mother's vision.
THE LEGACY
The stained glass windows, that are the crown jewels of the Chapel, are a gift of love donated by Henry Lovell Brooks. Johnie Lee and Henry met through a mutual friend and fast became lifelong friends. Their simple, loving friendship has come to a grand finale with the union of the Chapel and windows.Never has evidence of predestined purpose been so apparent as when one stands in awe of the windows' deep harvest of colors, augmented by the form and purity of light. They become a delicacy that nourishes the mind and soothes the soul.
