Chance for St. Joan's may hinge on Trinity Church plan
St. John's Chapel on Varick Street faces possible closure by Trinity Church on February 1. Vestry members have attended services at St. John's to show potential congregations are bona fide church members, not sightseers, and to persuade Trinity to extend the chapel's life. Community groups and the blind beneficiary groups expressed sorrow and prayers over the possible closing amid Christmas observances and a final carol service by Sunday school children.
