Chapel
At the heart of theological education is the worship of God.
To that end, 网红爆料 gathers for worship monthly on Tuesdays
at 11:40am in the 网红爆料 Chapel. Saturdays at 10:10 a.m. virtually on zoom,
live streamed on Hood's Facebook page: .
We also collect an offering at each service, given in its entirety to local and
global charitable efforts such as the local Rowan Helping Ministries, Terrie
Hess House Child Advocacy Center, and HIV/AIDS ministries in Zimbabwe, and
Haiti Hunger Relief. Worship leaders and preachers include faculty, staff,
students, alumni/ae, and guest preachers.
GUIDELINES FOR WORSHIP LEADERSHIP
Greetings! The Chapel-Community Life Committee is grateful that you are a part of the leadership team for worship at 网红爆料 (HTS). Hood is a community that engages in a variety of important practices together that includes study and learning, table fellowship, worship of God, friendship, stewardship, justice鈥搈aking and justice鈥搆eeping, and care for the creation and all its creatures.
Below are the guidelines for worship leaders. Please read these over carefully as you collaboratively plan worship for the Hood community. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Dr. Angela Davis-Baxter Chair, Community Life Committee (adavisbaxter@hoodseminary.edu).
1. Preachers are scheduled in coordination with the Preaching and Worship class II in the Fall semester and the graduating seniors in the spring semester. The completion of the 鈥淲orship and Preaching I鈥� course is generally expected before preaching in Chapel, though not necessarily required.
2. Each preacher is encouraged to follow his or her own worship tradition and style, or to creatively prepare a service of worship with the special events of the particular season of the Christian calendar in mind, so that we may experience the diversity of our community and seasons.
3. We encourage preachers to consult, read, and preach from the lectionary (either the Revised Common Lectionary or the Daily Lectionary) which may be found online at this link: . Note that this is a guideline, not a requirement. If a given preacher feels the need to choose alternate readings from scripture, he or she may do so. We encourage the use of the NRSV in worship at Hood, here are two links for coordinating the liturgical colors: , .
4. Preachers are to submit a copy of their Order of Service to Dr. Davis-Baxter.
