God Moments: Chapel Themes for 2010-11

Checking our "plumb"

The photo in the header of this new blog shows a "plumb line." It is a string with a metal weight at one end, a tool used by carpenters, masons and other tradespeople to test whether something is perfectly vertical and straight.

Think of chapels at Christopher Dock as a "plumb line" to help you check your relationships--the vertical one between you and God, as well as the horizontal ones with classmates, friends, teachers, family, and others.

Thoughts about chapel presentations will be posted here regularly. The coordinators will be seniors Andrew Gordon and Natalia Derstine, but others are encouraged to contribute as well; contact Andrew if you'd like to write a summary or response to one of this year's chapels.

Check the blog regularly for new posts--and help keep your spiritual "plumb line" straight.

"What do you dream of when it comes to worship at Christopher Dock? What do you want from chapel? What is your life of worship like here at Dock? Are you going through the motions? If you claim that your life is worship, then it has to be lived with integrity." -- Jim Ostlund, speaker for Spiritual Life Emphasis Week

"You and I are colleagues and co-creators with Him - living in the midst of ongoing creation and called upon to celebrate everything that is." - Martin Bell
