In a typical Monday morning chapel, Dr. Dixon challenges the student body with the theme, "Celebrating the Family." Each morning at 10:00,the Cedarville College family gathers for a time of worship, challenge, and admonition. Daily chapel services help bond the family together as personal concerns are shared,answers to unsettling questions are sought,and God's infinite love for His children is shown.President Dixon schedules many chapel speakers throughout the year, providing a refreshing and informative variety of topics. One of Cedarville's objectives is "to undergird the student in the fundamentals of the Christian faith and to stimulate him to evaluate knowledge in the light of scriptural truth." Students are consistently challenged to evaluate what is taught according to Scripture and not simply to "soak it in." Scriptural truths must be integrated into daily lives, not only because individuals represent Cedarville College but also because they represent Jesus Christ. Chapel can be viewed as an institutional requirement to be fulfilled or as a special privilege to be enjoyed. But as President Dixon says,"Chapel is the heartbeat of our college" and is essential to emotional, mental, and spiritual "survival" in the crush of the academic load. Dr.Joseph Stowell, president of Moody Bible Institute, delivers the message for the annual Charter Day chapel. Special music given by Greg Gibbs, Darin Struble, Andrea Unger sets the tone for the chapel message. 122 Chapel photo by Mal Biddlniger
