iPads by Mr. Wiener, Small Groups, Mr. Lundeen
HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Tuesday: You can watch the entire chapel online! This is a first.
Mr. Wiener spoke on iPads & our Christian faith. Chapel began with a skit about some boys so focused on an iPad game (Clash of Clans) that they ignored girls, bumped into Mr. Glover & didn't listen to the test review. Mr. Wiener then chanted about technology by candle light. The talk was about praying for God's wisdom when it comes to using technology, being honest with your self, what is success?, and how is God calling you to unplug.
Thursday: Small groups today focused on the famous passage of Proverbs 3:5-6. In what area of your life do you need to trust in God more? What does a straight path mean for your life?
MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Mr. Lundeen spoke on fairness. There are three types of unfairness: silly, social and serious. He explained all three. Then he directed us to Romans 7. God sent Jesus into the world to solve the problem of "unfairness" caused by sin.

Hymn Chapel & Kelly Cornelisse
HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Thursday: We had our first hymn chapel of the year. To introduce each hymn, students shared the history of the hymns. We saying Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, Great is Thy Faithfulness, Jesus Paid It All, I Surrender, and It is Well with My Soul. Timothy junior, Alex Z., accompanied us on the piano.
MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Kelly is the youth director at Faith CRC. Her talk was based on Jude verse one, "to those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ." Our core identity must be based in what God thinks about us and not what we think or what other people think. In Jesus Christ we are called, we are loved, we are kept for all eternity.

Pardee & a Service Project
HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Thursday: Josh Pardee, youth pastor at The Chapel in Hinsdale, spoke. He based his comments on the Parable of the Talents from Matthew, chapter 25. We need to live our lives with a greater sense of urgency to do God's work. And we should not spend time comparing ourselves to others, but be thankful for who we are and how God made us. Then we can focus on using our lives to do God's work.
MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
We sang This is Amazing Grace, Mighty to Save and With Everything. Our chapel became a time of service. Student spread out throughout the auditorium with colored pencils, and they created cards for cancer patients. The cards will be distributed through the organization Phil's Friends. And Phil will come speak to us in chapel on November 3.
