Psalm 96 invites us to "Sing to the Lord a new song... proclaim his salvation day after day." Our generation has been blessed with many "new songs" to worship our Lord. I am grateful that our Campus Ministries team and Joyful Noise student worship band work diligently to lead us in worship experiences that are fresh and alive.  

 

Sometimes, that means learning some "old songs."  Earlier generations of believers also understood how to worship the Lord in vital, meaningful ways. Those old songs and forms of worship can become "new songs" as they are rediscovered by today's college students.

 

This year, on most Friday mornings at 11:00 a.m., our campus community will celebrate "The Divine Hours," a contemporary liturgical form of worship that blends prayer, scripture, meditations, creeds and silence into a modern worship experience based on centuries-old church practices. "The Divine Hours" will be part of our regular accredited chapel program and will be available to all students, faculty, and staff. Brief reflections will be presented by faculty members each week.

 

If you happen to be in Huntington on a Friday morning, please feel free to drop by Zurcher Auditorium and worship with us. You can see what's planned for "The Divine Hours" - as well as for our Tuesday and Thursday chapels and Wednesday night Ekklesia services - on our campus calendar.
