Blessed at chapel

Tuesday, September 19, 2006

For me one of the great perks of working at Calvin College is the opportunity to attend morning worship or “chapel” at 10 am. Classes are neither scheduled nor held between 10:00-10:30 am. Some college offices even close their doors at 10 am, hoping to encourage students and staff to attend.

Unfortunately I don’t always make it to chapel.  It’s been a personal goal of mine to attend at least once each week.  Last week I made it three times--I also attended this morning.  That’s not always the case.  Often the tempo of a work project propels that 9:55 am “mark” right past me.  Or I just plain forget and don’t even consider the chapel option many mornings.  Occasionally a colleague will stop by or shoot me an e-mailed invitation.  That is usually enough of a prompt. Sometimes I even take the initiative and invite a colleague.

But one thing is always certain when it comes to my chapel attendance.  I always receive a spiritual blessing when I do go.
