Chapel

 


 Chapel at Good Shepherd School

All students attend daily chapel, a sung service of Morning Prayer, in which they very quickly and easily learn the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the Creeds, and the singing of Psalms and Canticles, thus learning the grammar of worship. Lessons from Holy Scripture are drawn from the Psalms, Proverbs, gospels, or from the systematic reading of Bible stories.  They also learn about 200 significant hymns from the common Christian heritage of our denominationally diverse student body as they are used in the cycle of worship throughout the Christian year. In addition to the Daily Office, our Chapel Service book includes an office of Instruction and several daily Litanies, thus encouraging active student participation in the service. In filling the memories of our pupils with the rich heritage of Christian worship, we trust that, like bread cast upon water, it will return after many days (cf. Eccl. 11:1). It is our prayer that, when our pupils become adults, the principles and practice of worship of daily chapel will guide them to a faithful church home when they start their own families.
