CHAPEL provides daily rene~al More than 3,500 students came to Harding this year, and although they attended different classes , belonged to different social clubs , and lived in different dorms , there was one thing they all had in common - nine o 'clock chapel. The basis for Harding's motto - "educating for eternity" - could be found in the daily chapel devotionals. Numerous programs and announcements were an integral part of chapel , but the time spent in worship to God erved as the backbone of the chapel programs. "Chapel was a wonderful way to set the focus for the day, and even the week ," remarked Christy Coonts , a senior from Harrison, Ark. Student Association officers took advantage of chapel time to share their goals with the student body. "We want to focus this year on ervice, " said David Rubio , vice president. Projects included the St. Louis flood relief trip , raising money to purchase mobil medical units in Ghana , and the freshman cla s food drive for Bosnia. Students were also made aware of opportuniti s to serve, including International Campaigns and campus ministry projects. These projects reminded students of "a bigger world out there" that needed their help and the message of Christ. Chapel also provided a time for fellowship with other Christians . For many, it was the only time each day that they could see their friends . Most importantly, chapel gave students a chance to seek God first in the morning, and to focus on Him for the rest of the day.
