Fair Haven Chapel Renovation Project

The Chapel has received new paint, new carpeting, refreshed lighting, new seating, and new stained glass windows. The Team is excited that the naming opportunity of the Chapel itself has already been claimed, but there are other opportunities that we would like to make available to raise the additional funds needed to fully fund the project.

In order to raise the additional funds, the Team has decided to offer naming and memorial opportunities within the Chapel. There are three ways you can take part in this special effort.
1) Sponsor a Stained Glass Window for the Chapel (No longer available)
2) Sponsor New Seating for the Chapel
3) Make a gift of any amount designated for the Chapel Renovation

Sponsoring New Seating: The seats in the Chapel were original to the construction of the Chapel in the 1960s. There are a total of 100 seats, and the Team decided to order 100 new seats to replace them. Through a special buying discount, Fair Haven is able to purchase the chairs (with chair arms and hymnal racks) for almost half of the usual retail cost. Therefore, the Team is able to offer the naming or memorial naming of a new chair for a gift of $350 each. You may sponsor one chair or any number of chairs you wish! A naming/memorial plate will be attached to the hymnal rack on the back of each chair to honor the gift.

Sponsoring a Stained Glass Window (No longer available): The Team has decided to replace both the upper and lower windows with stained glass creations. There are 15 large windows in the main worship area and one extra-large window at the rear of the Chapel. To cover the cost of these windows, each large window is being offered for naming or memorial naming for your gift of $1,500. For a gift of $5,000, you can sponsor the one extra-large stained glass window at the rear of the Chapel. The company selected to do the stained glass work is Birmingham Art Glass Company. Much of their stained glass work can be seen in the area, most notably at Highlands United Methodist Church, First United Methodist Church of Birmingham, and Shades Crest Baptist Church. As of the writing of this letter, 6 of the 15 large windows have already been spoken for, so the sooner you inform us of your intention to sponsor a window, the better, so that we can reserve the opportunity for you! The memorial/naming is etched into each of the large stained glass windows. A recognition plaque will be located publically at eye level, below the extra-large window to honor that gift. 

If you wish to give, use this online gift portal or simply send a gift to The Chapel Team at 1520 Cooper Hill Road, Birmingham, AL  35210, or call Sherri at the Methodist Homes office at 205-951-2442. 

Thank you for your support and love of Fair Haven, its residents, and its mission.
Sincerely,
The Chapel Team
