Chapel Band, Kyle Bjerga, MS Students Share

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Tuesday: CHAPEL BAND. Our first chapel of worship through song led by our all-student chapel band. We sang Lay Me Down, Our God, O Come to the Altar, Lion and the Lamb and Our God is Greater. What a blessed time of worship!

Thursday: KYLE BJERGA, youth pastor at Cityview Church in Elmhurst. Kyle challenged us to discipleship through this definition: when the Word of God and prayer is infused in genuine relationships over an extended period of time. We need to to ourselves “who is my Paul? and who is my TImothy? Who can mentor me and who can I mentor in the faith?



MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Wednesday: STUDENTS SHARING ABOUT THE SUMMER. We saw a slideshow of summer photos that students had submitted. Next, we all were quiet and reflected on “God moments” from this past summer. Students were invited to the stage to share how they were encouraged in their faith this summer. About 40 students came forward to share! And thanks to Grant for leading our worship through song!

Small Groups & the First Grade Chapel!

Chapel with the 1st Graders
HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Tuesday: SMALL GROUP CHAPEL. Our first small group chapel of the year. The groups are led by student leaders. Today, students discussed Ephesians 3:20-21 and created an artistic representation of the verses by using their signatures.




Thursday: CHAPEL WITH THE 1st GRADERS. This annual chapel is one of the favorites. With the 1st graders on the stage, we all stand and sing songs together—with motions! I share a story about trusting in God by using the characters on the Octoberfest set. The 1st graders read Joshua 1:6-9, said the Lord’s Prayer, and sang for us High as a Mountain. Words cannot describe the wonderful time of 
worship and TC community! But you can experience a slice of the chapel by CHECKING OUT THE VIDEO: CLICK HERE
