CHAPEL, DAY OF PRAYER Each day holds for the student an opportunity to draw closer to God. One of the times set aside for this is the morning chapel service. Speakers, including p a s t o r s , evangelists, missionaries, and faculty members, endeavor to give insight into God's Word and work. Some chapel services are spent in testimony periods or with programs sponsored by the various classes or school organizations. Once a month time is taken from the morning classes for an extended period of prayer and worship. All students and faculty meet in the auditorium at 8:30 to hear a message and to pray together. Then each student goes to his respective class prayer meeting, later r eturning to the auditorium for a testimony and praise service. These Days of Prayer uplift and challenge all to a more effective and powerful Christian life. Junior class at prayer Ira Gerig leading singing in chapel
