And it\u2019s no wonder why \u2014 every single day, we all gather together, worship with our friends, and hear a message about God\u2019s Word from wonderful speakers. But how can we make the most of this opportunity, especially during times when our lives are chaotic, and chapel feels like another to-do list item? Here are five tips for making the most of chapel services:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3863\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Dr-White-Preaching-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=900%2C506&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dr. White preaching in chapel.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Dr-White-Preaching-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Dr-White-Preaching-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Dr-White-Preaching-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=700%2C394&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Dr-White-Preaching-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Dr-White-Preaching-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Dr-White-Preaching-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=120%2C68&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\u00a0<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Engage in a Way That Works for You<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">During chapel, it can be hard to stay focused, especially when you have a million other things to think about. It can be really easy to just zone out and let the speaker\u2019s words pass over you. But making the most out of chapel messages comes down to engaging in a way that works for you. For me, the traditional method of taking notes works really well. During each chapel sermon, I write down the Bible verses, main idea, key points, and anything else that sticks out to me. This helps me pay attention to the message and have a handy outline to go back to later to remember the speaker\u2019s message.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">But taking notes doesn\u2019t work for everyone. The best method of engaging in chapel depends on you. It may require some trial and error to determine which method you prefer. It may work best for you to have something to do with your hands, like doodling, to keep your mind open to the chapel message. Of course, for some people this method may be distracting, so it is up to you to determine whether this is helpful or harmful.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another option is Bible journaling. Many companies make Bibles with margins along the text designated specifically for journaling. You could take notes directly in your Bible, highlight important verses, or make doodles that help you remember the message.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For some people, simply sitting and listening to the message is what works the best! If that\u2019s you, don\u2019t bother making engagement more complicated than it is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Talk About Chapel Messages<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Another way to get the most out of chapel is discussing the message with your friends around campus! If there was a particular message that really resonated with you, or even something a speaker said that you have questions about, what better way to consider this message than talking about it with your friends who also heard it? You could always bring up the message to your friends, your hall\/unit mates, your classmates, or your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/ministries\/discipleship-ministries\/studies\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">d-group<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> and see what others thought about it. Some of the best conversations I\u2019ve had on campus have been those late-night conversations with my hallmates about Bible passages or chapel messages we\u2019ve been pondering lately.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Or, if a message particularly challenges you, your Bible professors would be more than happy to talk about it with you, whether in class or in their office hours.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Talking about chapel messages doesn\u2019t just extend to people on campus! If you hear a message you think a certain family member or friend outside of campus would enjoy, you could always send them the recording. On the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/chapel\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Chapel Resources Page<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, you can find audio recordings of chapel messages dating back to 1964!

Many have spoken at numerous conferences and institutions around the country or even the world, and many have published books or online articles. If you especially like a particular speaker, chances are that you can find other messages they\u2019ve given online. And if they\u2019ve written books, a quick Google search will likely pull up their works. If a speaker particularly struck you, it may be worth investing in buying one of their books! Or, if you don\u2019t want to spend the money, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/academic-schools-and-departments\/library\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Centennial Library<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> may have a copy of chapel speakers\u2019 books. Doing further research and reading from prominent Christian teachers will help you learn even more about the Bible, expanding your knowledge and helping you become a more effective Christian in your field of work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Don\u2019t Scan and Scram!<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This one may seem obvious, but in case it\u2019s not: Don\u2019t record that you <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">were <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">in chapel when you <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">weren\u2019t<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">! Not only is it dishonest, going against Cedarville\u2019s core value of integrity, but it can also very easily become a bad habit. Treating chapel as a requirement you have to simply check off instead of a fundamental Christian experience of community is undermining its importance. It\u2019s about developing a habit of daily worship and immersing yourself in God\u2019s Word. The chapel messages on days I\u2019ve least wanted to go to chapel have ended up being the most impactful to my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Utilize Chapel Skips\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Of course, there are times when you really need that 10 o\u2019clock hour to work on homework or just relax. That is why everyone is granted eight chapel skips! They\u2019re up to you to use at your discretion \u2014 whether you want to use it to study for an upcoming test, finalize an essay, or call your family. Those skips are given to us to utilize for a reason, so use them well! You can always watch the livestream if you want on a skip day, or you can simply take this hour for yourself to get caught up. It\u2019s at your discretion how you want to spend it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3865\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Worshipping-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=900%2C506&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Student chapel band leading chapel worship.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Worshipping-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Worshipping-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Worshipping-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=700%2C394&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Worshipping-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Worshipping-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Worshipping-in-Chapel-Social-Image.jpg?resize=120%2C68&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In summary, you get out of chapel what you put into it.
