Prayer and worship are an important part of our common life here at Bethany School. Students attend Chapel once a week (grades K-4 and grades 5-8). The service follows the “Morning Prayer” format in the Book of Common Prayer from the Episcopal Church. While rooted in Christian tradition, Chapel is designed to be a place for the entire school community to gather. Therefore, it is ecumenical and interfaith in style and tone. Students participate in the service as acolytes, lectors, prayer leaders, and sometimes as the ones delivering the sermon. For special dates on the Christian Calendar we celebrate together at All School Chapel services where we usually share Communion. All are invited to participate by either receiving communion or a special blessing. Families are always welcome to attend!
Below are schedules for our 4th Grade Acolytes (Lower School Chapel) and 8th Grade Acolytes (Upper School) for 2017-18. Acolyte teams should report directly to chapel by 7:50am where attendance will be taken.
