Great Preaching from the Word 0 God The chapel services held twice a week are a real highlight to most students for many reasons. Not only are classes shortened, but more important, loyalty and unity are built up among the student body. The services themselves are of a wide variety. Special dra- matic presentations are occasionally featured and music is often presented by the school choirs, visiting musical groups, and students who have voice or piano lessons. Skits are given to promote future activities and testimonies from the stu- dents have been the feature of some very meaningful services Great preaching from the Word of God is definitely the most significant part of the services. In addition to the stirring preaching of Mr. Williams and Pastor Al Cockrell, other distinguished men of God have exhorted the student body from the pulpit from all across the nation. Ron Riley, from Jacksonville, Florida, was greatly used of God in the school revival and his stories of his experiences in football were greatly enjoyed. Dr. Jim Anderson, a gifted ventrilo- quist, brought along a friend, and shared from the Bible. Special guests from Kansas City Baptist Temple included Rev. Don Sewell and Jerry Wright, the music director. The choir from one of Bro. Roloffs homes, the Lighthouse, sang for us. The concert choir from Tennessee Temple also visited as well as many other special guests, and each had an impor- tant message from the Lord. 76 Chapel
