Community Chapel



When: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11-11:30 a.m.
Where: Seeley G. Mudd Chapel

This twice-weekly worship service allows the Whitworth community to gather together in an expression of our commitment to honor God, follow Christ, and serve humanity.  Each worship service is led by the campus ministry staff  as we draw upon all that has been given to us- the Bible, the two millennia of church tradition, the best of contemporary music, the spirituality of written prayers, the sharing of communion together,  the power of liturgical symbols and dance, the joy of global music, and  the witness of the worldwide Christian community. Tuesday services are centered on the chapel theme for the semester and typically include two to three songs of praise, prayer, and a short sermon connected with the chapel theme.

Each Thursday service is unique, as it is crafted around a particular theme or form of worship, but may include guest speakers, Taize music and prayer, performances by the University’s choirs, gospel music, sacred dance, reflections on service trips, and any number of other worship experiences. Our Thursday worship services provide us with opportunities to reflect upon and celebrate the variety of gifts and experiences found in our community.

Fall 2009 Theme and Schedule
On Tuesdays this fall, Whitworth President Bill Robinson, Campus Pastor Mindy Smith, Associate Professor Theology Adam Neder, and Dean of Spiritual Life Terry McGonigal will look with us to the Old Testament as we explore the theme of story. The stories of these familiar characters have something to say to us today, and we’ll see how their stories, and ours, are woven together into the story being told by God. Thursday services continue the ongoing theme of using our gifts and experiences to encourage one another in Christian faithfulness.
