visiting with your children or friends and showing them your plaque of remembrance and sharing what God has done in your life. Future students may see your verse at the precise moment when God knows they need it. At $250 or more, not only will your gift help provide a state-of-the-art facility for generations to come, but also ensure the same life-changing opportunities for future generations that you experienced in chapel. Regardless of whether you have experienced chapel firsthand, we want you to contribute to this exciting project. For alumni giving anything, your name will go on a donor wall to honor your gift. Alumni who give a gift of $100 or more will have their name placed on the donor wall and receive a 9:55 commemorative coin to remind them to pray for chapel every day. For a gift of $250 or more, you will receive a plaque of remembrance on a new Jeremiah Chapel seat. For additional information about other ways to support the chapel renovation and expansion project, please contact our Advancement Division at 1-888-233-2784. Altogether, this renovation will cost around $3 million. We are thankful to announce that a $750,000 lead gift has already been provided. Your investment to help us complete the project is worthwhile not because of the importance of the facility itself, but because of the importance of what takes place inside the facility. MY PERSPECTIVE Chapel will always be the heartbeat of Cedarville University. Mondays when I stand on the stage and look around at more than 3,000 students, faculty, and staff, I feel the weight of the responsibility and the stewardship entrusted to me. One day, I will stand before J esus Christ and give account for ho w we led these students. That’s one reason I desire intentionality with each of their 1,000 days on campus. I pray that each chapel will guide the m one step deeper in commitment, to b e firmer in their faith, to repent of sin, to be good spouses and parents, and to li ve a life for the glory of God in a world f ull of chaos. In chapel, we deal with ete rnal matters. In this time of cultural confusio n we must present compassionate conviction as we continue to stand for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. We need your help. Will you pray a bout raising your stone of remembrance?Wil l you invest in the Cedarville chapel renova tion and expansion project?
