Every Chaplain has a different way of praying, conducting a service or even preparing for a sermon. This page is dedicated to those Chaplains who wish to share their “secret to serving God” with other Chaplains. Please send us your favorite prayer, hymn, poem or story.

If you have content you would like to include on this site, please use the Contact Us page or the email link. If you have any questions, please contact Rev. Kenneth N. Hessel, nysafc@optonline.net.
