One chapel. One seat. One moment. Changes everything.
ON August 26, 2009, students, faculty and staff poured into McHie Arena for the first chapel of the year. With a student body that has outgrown Chalfant Hall, the first two chapel services of the year are held in this sporting arena so that the entire community can gather together as one. And yet, there were still not enough seats. With every bleacher already filled, dozens of students were left to observe chapel from a distance, standing on the walking track.
The new chapel will ensure that every week, in every chapel, every student will have a seat. The new chapel for Olivet will be used to transform lives of Olivet students, and their spouses, and their children, and their workplaces, and their churches, and their communities and the long reach of all the places they touch. To learn more about this important project and how you can provide a seat for the new chapel, contact the Office of Development at 815-939-5171 or go online to www.olivet.edu.
