On Wednesday mornings, students, faculty, staff, and invited guests gather for Chapel in the multi-purpose room. Parents of course, are also always welcome at this special time of worship. The dress code for chapel days is a dress shirt and tie for the boys and a dress or dressy skirt and blouse for the girls. Each homeroom has the opportunity to lead chapel during the school year.
The chapel offering goes to a different ministry each month. In this way, Luther students begin to develop an awareness of all the work there is to be done in the world if all of God's children are to be provided for and loved. We also learn how small gifts, given by many, can add up to make a real difference in the lives of others.
In a given year, the September offering may go to Hearts for Jesus - Cows for
Kids, a project that provides an opportunity for widows in India to support their children by keeping milk cows. (Our offering purchased two cows for the project last year.) In October of last year, the offering went to the
Gabrovo Orphanage in Bulgaria.
The January offering went to CARITAS, an organization of churches around the Richmond area providing shelter for the homeless. In February, school supplies were collected and sent to schools in Paraguay through
By Kids For Kids, an organization which connects children in North America with projects for children in Third World countries, and in March our offering went to the
Sickle Cell Initiative at MCV/VCU.
