The event I look forward to almost every week.
Chapel is something you can’t describe—it’s something you have to experience. It doesn’t feel like a requirement. Even with the spiritual formation points requirement, I don’t go for the points. It is the so-desired break for a college student’s busy schedule.
When I heard about chapel in the big welcome meeting on the first week, I expected that this technically required event wouldn’t hold much value in my schedule. Those expectations have changed drastically. My first chapel brought emotion I hadn’t experienced for a while. The message that chapel gives to students hits the soul—it struck mine right in the heart.
Of course, possibly my favorite part while also fangirling for a second, is our Worship Team on campus. Talent pours from this team—God pours from this team. It’s the best way to start chapel. Voices praise God left and right with the team by our side. The atmosphere is unmatched once they take the stage.
But if I were to say what chapel does for people—it answers questions that you didn’t think you asked. The message resonates whether you are religious or not. That is the point of chapel. You can learn something new each time. In my experience, you will form relationships with the people in that gym. That’s how much of an impact it has.
My advice—go to chapel. See what it’s about. You may be surprised at what you find—just like I was.
