College Chapel
Defining Moments
Thursday 9:50 – 10:20am
Whitley Auditorium
September 30th
Defining Moments: Jane Wellford – Professor of Performing Arts
Music: Caitlin Wang Fleisig ’13, pianist
Please join us this Thursday in Whitley Auditorium for College Chapel! We will continue to hear from speakers about how events in their lives have helped to define who they now are. We will be challenged to consider how past events – personal & public, positive & negative – have shaped and molded our present realities.
Thursday Chapel is a time and space to take a break from the busyness of the week and refresh the spirit. It is not a “worship service,” rather a time of reflection offered by a member of the Elon community or guest speaker. Music is provided each week by students and faculty from the Music department. Refreshments will be served following Chapel. All are welcome!
