Ritual Performance Class

The Ritual Performance and Criticsm class prepared the chapel for Tuesday, November 13 based on a reading from II Thessalonians 2. The text speaks to the community in Thessalonica expecting the immanent "day of the Lord" a warning not to be deceived or shaken by others. The chapel group used their learnings in our ritual class to imagine many new sounds and actions to embody the feelings of alarm and breaking trust, as well as the comfort that Paul promises in every good work and word.

Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Below is one of two posts of our final chapels services led by our Introduction to Preaching and Worship Class. This service took place on Wednesday, November 29 and is based on Isaiah 7. You hear in the call to worship and reflections the urgent plea for God to be with us, Emmanuel.
