Dessa and I began attending the Cox Chapel service because we found it to be the most spiritually stimulating of all the venues that HPUMC has to offer.  The traditional hymns, combined with Anglican Wesley traditions have brought us back to the roots of Methodism.  The intimate setting of the Chapel could not be more perfect to tie this all together.  You have to know where you came from before you can determine where you are and this service has helped us on our faith journey and laid a good foundation for our son, Duncan. – Peter and Dessa Watson Ferris 

I live in a technology-dominated world of IPODs and laptops and email, and of course the ubiquitous television screen.  It is hard to get a moment to stop, to be still and listen.  When I step into Cox Chapel, I feel I am stepping back in time, or at least out of my own times, and in a very real sense sharing in worship and in prayer with Christians throughout the ages.  As I sit under lofty gothic arches watching the colors dance on the floor as sunlight pours through stained glass windows, I am reminded that the shiny, commercialized world of Starbucks and cell phones I see and experience around me is not all there is to the world.  The Kingdom of God is bigger, older, more majestic and transcendent.  In God's Kindgom, there are truer ways to be with other people, and more vibrant ways to be with this God, who wondrously offers himself to us week after week in a deeply mysterious and incarnational way through the sacrament of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, our only Savior who brings us into the life and light of this Kingdom. – Daniel McLain Hixon

The service at Cox Chapel is more to me than a pleasantly nostalgic link to my Anglican education. This service, with its stateliness, the grandeur of its choral performances, the consistently thoughtful preaching, and the weekly familiarity and comfort of the Eucharist offers an overwhelming sense of peace and an opportunity for contemplative worship. – Blake Harkey

Thank you, Rev. Hall for your wonderful sermons infused with wisdom, knowledge and humor, and for bringing us together!  - Marcia Fennell

Discovering the 11 o’clock worship service at Cox Chapel has been nothing short of my re-emergence into Christianity; my re-embrace with the word worship, and allowance to the act of it. Within the Anglican-style liturgy I have found invaluable meditation, which has proved soothing—as when one finally reads the words in red alone (or remembers them again after a long absence), and finds himself—Bible put away—carried on by their essence; something stays. One is fortified, stilled, in a quiet passion. Cox Chapel provides such an atmosphere, for one to be with others, but at the same time feel truly alone with God.  Jeff’s sermons are wonderfully adept, and rare, in their compassion no matter what the subject matter, and in his adherence to the truth of Christ. He weaves the mysterious with the rational; the church as foundation with the ever-questioning mind. Heard in these messages, is genuine sympathy, for the lone, uprooted seeker, questing peace; for the family seeking financial stability and practical faith to teach to their children; for the estranged, for the faithless, for the lost and the poor; for the wealthy and the super-wealthy. He is my pastor and my friend. I am so grateful for his counsel. One thing can without a doubt be said of him: He desires to serve. And nothing greater can be said of a clergyman.- Ben Pletcher
