Middle School "Good Friday" Chapel

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Tuesday: The annual "Good Friday" Chapel. The high school chamber choir started our time by singing When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. The worshipful hymn was sung acapella with beautiful harmonies. Mr. Pelt, along with Luke, Bethany and Olivia, led us in singing Lord I Lift Your Name, Amazing Love and Here I am to Worship. Calvin, Ariel and Leah then read the story of Jesus' crucifixion from Mark 15. Miss Mercedes shared how the power of the cross affects her life. Students were then encouraged to come to the front and get a piece of black, ripped paper (representing our sin) and offer a prayer of confession. After praying, they dropped the paper at the foot of the cross and picked up another piece of paper with the word "FORGIVEN". It was a holy time together!
