Junior 1 Chapel

Just wanted to share a quick highlight from the day. 2 or 3 times a semester the foreign teachers are asked to assist with a chapel service either for the Junior 1 (7th grade) students, or Junior 2-Senior 3 (8-12th grade) students. Well today was our first chapel service for the year. We lead it for the 7th graders, all of whom are required to attend. When the foreign teachers lead chapel we typically perform a skit or two, sing 7 or 8 songs, pray and read a couple of Bible passages.

Normally 7th grade chapels, are a little more difficult because their English is not quite as good, and many are there even though they may not want to be. I usually enjoy the Senior High Chapel more. Today however, the kids were absolutely wonderful. Our first song was "This is the Day" and we sing it in 2 groups, and when your group sings you are supposed to stand. Normally the kids fumble through the song and kind of stand when they are supposed to. Today, I could hear the kids singing loudly and they were full of energy. It seemed to spread through all of the other songs and skits as well. I thought Junior 1 Chapel was great today! Praise God for the chance to share the message of Christ with these students, and their willingness to be engaged in the chapel service.
