Welcome . . . . . . to the United Methodist House, one of the denominational houses at the Chautauqua Institution in southwestern New York state. The House is located at 14 Pratt Avenue on the Chautauqua grounds, just across from the famous Amphitheater. During the nine-week Chautauqua season, it is a center for worship, fellowship, and learning. The spacious porch, parlors, quiet Chapel and Memorial Garden make an inviting and comfortable place for rest, refreshment and conversation. The resident hostess and host coordinate the many events that take place at the House and welcome weekly guests to their rooms. During the “off” season — the other 43 weeks of the year — the United Methodist House is available as a retreat and renewal center for individuals, families, and church groups. “You have to experience it,” says a blogger who spent time at the House this summer. Also (read the host couple's weekly blog on life at the House and in Chautauqua. The 2010 summer season ended August 29. Reservations for room rental in the 2011 season will be taken on Monday, October 4. At the annual meeting of the House, held July 14, Bruce Burr was elected president for the 2010-11 year. The treasurer reported that a healthy balance is on hand, much of it for use in maintenance and renovation projects this fall. UM House newsletters: May 2010 • Christmas 2009 • September 2009
