Chapel

By Kandice Kimmel, Latin & History 5th-8th

At St. James Day School we have all school chapel every Tuesday morning lead by Fr. Halt or Fr. McCarley. This is a special time our student body comes together to discover more about themselves, the world, and God through the worship of Jesus Christ.

Students have many opportunities to participate and contribute to worship and are challenged to grow and stretch their understanding of their faith and the Bible.

Our sixth grade students are responsible for organizing the set up and take down of chapel, the scripture readings, crucifer, torchbearer, and flags.

I recently asked all of my middle school students what they thought about our chapel service.

‘I think it is important to have chapel at school because you can learn about the Bible and how Jesus sacrificed his life for us’.—Anna Scott Bruner

‘Chapel is a place for learning about the Bible. It is important to know and continue to learn about the work of the Lord’. —Mabyn Kyles
