Chapel Services

Chapel mornings are a special time for HPCA students and faculty. It is the one consistent time that we all come together to pray and worship and be refreshed with God's Word.  Just bringing all of our Kindergarten through 5^th grade students together in the Worship Center creates an energy and excitement! The students love to sing God's praises and when they lift their voices up in song, we all can't help but feel warmed and encouraged!

During Chapel services, the 5^th grade students lead all of our K-5 student body in pledges to our flags and the Bible. One of our 5^th graders always leads us in prayer. Each grade level stands together and recites a Bible verse they have worked to memorize. Mr. Kirk Oakley, one of our 1^st grade teachers, leads the students and faculty in a time of worship and praise through music. Sometimes our songs are "high-energy," such as when we go to "The Hop;" and at other  times, our songs are prayers of love and adoration to our Savior.

Special Guests

Each Chapel service is blessed by a special guest, ranging from local children's pastors and youth leaders to visitors from other countries. With so many diverse kinds of speakers, we never know if we will have an object lesson, a video presentation, a drama, or some other form of creative ministry. The two things that all of our guests have in common is that they love God and they love sharing God with others!

View the list below to see a few of the various ministries and ministers that have come our way:

-Francois Bergerone, French chalk artist

-"Silent Praise" Mime Team

-Children of the World, International Children's Choir

-The Curlee Family, Missionaries to Taiwan

-GSBC Pastors Craft, Steel, Davis and Hensley

-Other local pastors and lay ministers

We are always interested in hearing of speakers or ministry teams to share in our Chapel services. Please let send us your suggestions and contacts!

Offerings

In addition to the great time of worship and learning that we experience during Chapel services, we have received offerings that are used to help mission efforts around the world. As our students enter the Worship Center, they place their offerings in baskets by the doors. Some students bring whatever change they had that day. Others have had lemonade sales or performed chores to raise an offering. Through all of their giving last year, we bought bicycles for missionaries in Thailand, sent vitamins to children to Nicaragua, bought mosquito nets to save children in Africa from Malaria and collected over 600 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child! What blessings flowed from change dropped in an offering basket!

Conversions

During the school year 2008-2009, at least 15 students from HPCA accepted Christ at school. Many times, their decision was a result of something said in a Chapel service. Our students have been greatly impacted by the Word as delivered by our many guests. We find that children's hearts are tender to God's voice. We are thankful for the privilege of having Chapel.

Parents and Guests

Parents and other guests are always welcome to come and experience Chapel with our students and faculty. You can check our calendar on the webpage for dates and times. We always meet in the Worship Center and our Chapel service will last about one hour. We look forward to seeing you there!
