Our worship evolves continuously, open to the multiple new ways God is known - whether expressed in word, in music, or in the revelation of our bodies. During the academic year, James Memorial Chapel is the setting for regular chapel worship Monday through Thursday at noon, as well as special services at other times. Nowhere is this diverse community brought together more discernibly than at worship, where students, faculty, and staff gather to articulate as well as listen to these multiple voices. No classes or official meetings are scheduled during the noon hour so that the entire community can attend services. Attendance is not required, but all who are able to attend are encouraged to do so.
Daily chapel is both traditional and innovative.
Worship planners are encouraged to use the lectionary. Effort is made to include a space for community prayer in every service. Each week concludes with a celebration of the Eucharist. Worship is also open to the efforts of students and faculty to find new liturgies that meet the needs of this community. Moveable chairs and altars provide flexibility not possible in many worship spaces.
