Eventually lights dim and voices hush to a low hum and raise once again to fill the chapel with a ringing rendition of"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." Stragglers sneak into back rows, stepping on stray roes, purses, and books. No one seems to mind, though, because it is Monday morn- ing, the first and only time for the entire college family to gather for the week. Anticipating the message, students sit comfortably amidst the staff and faculty that serve them so diligently during the week.Preceeding his perti- nent year-long series of messages on dating, marriage, and family, Dr. Dix- on greets the body assembled before him, peppering it with anecdotes and announcements concerning the state of the college. Scurrying for note- books, our college family is united un- der the leadership of our president and bonded together by the fellow- ship of a regular, familiar Monday chapel. We are family.
