HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Tuesday: ADVENT CHAPEL. In our overly busy and commercially driven Christmas season, how do we celebrate Advent? Some students brought their cell phones to the stage. Step one: realize the attraction our phones have on us. We then listed on a white board how are phones are good and not so good. Step two: admit how our phones distract us from what is really important. I read a Christmas story. Step three: be more aware of the needs around us. We spent time in prayer. Step four: spend time in prayer!
Thursday: AARON FOSTER. Aaron, high school youth director at Christ Church of Oak Brook, spoke. It is so easy for us to place our identity in what we do and how we look. In our drive for success and often overly scheduled lives, he drove home this point: God calls us to healthy labor and rejuvenating rest. Next week Aaron is going to create a “Sabbath Space” at Timothy for students to participate in prayerful, rejuvenating rest.
MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Wednesday: HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. Ethan & Carson explained the maximum velocity of prayer by using a video of Mr. Rink on a swing and a pendulum physics equation. Jana & Matea used a video to explain God’s majesty. Chrissy then read Psalm 8 on top of an eight foot step ladder. We then transitioned to the fact that God is also personal through a skit featuring Bethany and explained by Leah & Elise. The whole point of the chapel was wrapped up by Joshua and Alex in a humorous, yet meaningful way. When we pray, we need to consider both God’s majestic and personal nature. Darrell, Jana and Bethany led us in singing My Lighthouse and Lay Me Down.
