Holy Week Worship at Unity Christian High School
From Betty Grit:
It was 8:00 on Wednesday morning and there was not an empty parking place nearby. Inside Unity Christian High School in Hudsonville, Michigan, students and teachers were in classrooms writing papers, talking, listening, or working at computers. In the gym seven students and two teachers were preparing for chapel. The sounds of cellos, flute, violin and voices prepared to lead students in worship.
Soon more than nine hundred students and faculty came into the gymnasium, filling the folding chairs that were set in rows for worship. The strains of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” played on cellos by two young women quieted the talking and prepared our hearts. Words from Isaiah and Luke along with the joyful notes of a flute playing “Joy to the World” and a violin playing “Silent Night” reminded us of Christ’s coming to earth. A few students smiled and whispered to each other. This isn’t Christmas!
