The Chapel Guardian received reports on the so-called "grand opening" of the Chapel of Awareness on Sunday May 2:
Attendance appeared to be about 80 people. Readings provided by people like Sandy Smith. Food and celebration in the kitchen. The Chapel Guardian congratulates the Friends of Chapel for this turnout.
Only problem is, most of those in attendance were part of the 87 responsible for suing Chapel. This is also the same group of people who either disappeared or "retired" after founder Rev. Gene Larr died in 2006, and sued the church when a past Board of Directors (including now Friends of Chapel members) called them on the carpet for being inactive by cleaning up the membership rolls. These people who bullied their way back to the Chapel are enjoying Sunday services under a new roof that they neither donated to nor participated in securing. Services clearly only advertised to their 80 or so constituents, not the full membership.
The Friends of Chapel accused past boards of being exclusionary, yet church members in the last week or so have complained that they have received no mailings or notices regarding now weekly board meetings and the "grand opening." Peace and harmony only for the exclusive Friends of Chapel.

As a chapel member I am infuriated that these friends folks have not sent me notices about their new events and programs. This is so wrong.
