2011 Miracle Yearbook

CHAPELS Cedarville's Chapels this year featured several memorable speakers. Local pastors, like Rob Turner, pastor at Apex Community Church, and David Smith, pastor of Fairhaven Church in Centerville, spoke to the student body. Dr. Brown used almost every Monday to encourage students on "Real-World Impact." He gave the students insight on how to answer some of the tough questions that could be brought up by non-believers or questioning believers, as well as addressing other great topics. This year, a favorite chapel speaker was Gianna Jessen. Gianna Jessen, a failed- abortion survivor, showed her fiery passion for life in the short time she spoke in chapel. Jessen stated she is grateful for every day that God had given her, and she has dedicated her life to making every day His. Lisa Dykes said, "I really enjoyed hearing her speak because she spoke about not wasting your time. on men you have to make excuses for." Mary Armstrong described her appreciation for Will Schenck. Armstrong appreciated Schenck so much because "he was from an industry we don't often hear about in chapel: Rolling Stone magazine and then fashion. He really. embodies the 'real-world impact' Cedarville strives to teach its students." Other chapel speakers challenged students on an intellectual level, forcing them to integrate biblical learning with secular issues. Ken Ham offered some advice to students: find answers to all questions in Genesis. Mark Yarhouse presented Christian research on a well-publicized subject: homosexuality and who it impacts, as well as what the how the church should respond to an individual struggling with same-sex attraction. With Justin Spann heading up worship, Cedarville made an effort to add more One Voice chapels, and the students overall really enjoyed this addition. Whether through its music or messages, chapel made an impact on Cedarville students so that they could, in turn, impact their "real worlds." 1 Rob Turn "It was really great to have the ability to praise God through music for an hour and watch God move through 3,000 people together."
