Happy Days
// Jeanne DeTellis Loudon
Our high school students are happy when it is chapel service time.
They resound the Word, “I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’” Psalm 122:1
Our student-led worship time gives opportunities for our students to serve their churches.
When Kensy Delmas was 13 years old, he was walking through his village in Lassale, and he heard music coming from the local church. He kept walking and stepped inside the church. At the end of the service, he walked out...but not as the same Kensy. He accepted Jesus as his Savior in this church revival service. Although Kensy had heard the Gospel shared in school chapel and church services, this was his time to become a new believer. The Holy Spirit moved Kensy to commit his life to Jesus.
Worship is a central part of our chapel services, and our students then take their skills back to their churches.
This month, our high school chapel preacher was Kensy Delmas, just 19 years old. Kensy’s mother and father were also students at our high school. He preached from Eccl. 3:1-5, with the subject: “There is a time for everything.” Can you imagine a call to the students from this young preacher, “This is the time for you to give your life to God?”
Weekly chapel services are hosted on Wednesdays at all of our schools, and the gatherings are energizing.
When our students participate in chapel services, they feel honored and privileged. When it’s chapel time at our high school, it’s a happy day. ~Jeanne DeTellis Loudon
