CHAPEL AND CONFIRMATION God has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not in virtue of our works, but in virtue of his own purpose and the grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus ages ago. ' ' 2 Timothy 1 :9 •v Chapel has been a time in which students, staff and com- munity have had an opportunity to gather, to participate, to reflect on their lives and to search for the meaning and purpose of being together to worship almighty God. Boys from all over the world come to Shawnigan many faiths and traditions are represented. The task is to em- brace all with God ' s love at some point and place within the context of our Chapel Program. Our Music Director, Mr. N. Fairbank has contributed to the worship services, sharing of his many gifts in both contemporary and traditional music. The Chapel Program has been enhanced by the participa- tion and sharing of staff members in the Services and by the visits we have had from friends of Shawnigan. Both the Anglican and Roman Catholic Bishops have graced us with their presence as did many of the clergy from the Diocese. For me as Chaplain this has been a wonderful year, one full of blessings. I know that God has called me to be here at this time and I give thanks every day for the privilege of ministering to his people here at Shawnigan Lake School. As God has called and saved us I know without a doubt that he will continue to minister to us in wonder- ful ways through the love of our Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit here at Shawnigan Lake School and always.
