Chapel begins again!

Yesterday, August 30, chapel services began for the 2010-2011 academic year and it was packed! So many were in attendance that people were seated in the aisles and sharing hymnals! Campus Pastor Noni Strand gave the sermon welcoming everyone.

On Wednesday, September 1, this fall’s Pearson Professor of Swedish Studies Per Harling will give his first chapel talk at 10:30 a.m. Harling is an ordained Lutheran pastor in the Church of Sweden. He also composes liturgical music and has written several books on worship life, hymns and biographies.

Harling has composed a morning prayer service that will be premiered during a special convocation on October 1 at 10 a.m. in Presser Hall. More information about Per Harling can be found online at www.bethanylb.edu/harling.
