Inspire, Winter 1995

With the start of fall quarter, many students and staff were wearing buttons with "9:55" printed on them. When asked about the buttons, the wearers responded that the simple message was a reminder to them to pray, as they walked to chapel at 9:55 a.m., that the Holy Spirit would use the Word of God to work in the hearts of students that day. Alumni are invited to join in praying at 9:55 or at any other time for chapel. Jot down "9:55" on a piece of paper and place it in a prominent place as a reminder to pray for students in the chapel service!
