Every Tuesday and Thursday, the majority of Lee students gather together for chapel in either the Conn Center or the Dixon Center for worship. A speaker presents a message and the chapel band sings worship songs. For many, chapel is a time to give freely the stresses of college and focus solely on the Lord and worshiping Him. Chapel holds to be greatly important for several Lee Students. Lee University is a Christian school and the students are expected to attend chapel on a regular basis. Personally, chapel presents itself to be one of my favorite times of the week. The music is always great, the speakers always know what they are talking about, (which is a plus), and the Word of God constantly brings epiphany and knowledge to those who listen. The picture above, the stage before chapel in the Conn Center, is prepped and ready for the chapel band to come out and start worship.
Many times, there is a service held on Sunday nights as well, called U-Church. When well-known speakers and Christian music artists are invited to come to Lee to speak/sing, they do so on Sunday at U-Church.
On September 16, 2012, Leeland was scheduled to perform at the Conn Center on campus. A great amount of students were ecstatic to see Leeland perform live. In the below picture shown above, Leeland Mooring, the "main man" of Leeland, sings some of his most popular releases. Songs like "Count Me In" and "The Great Awakening" were among the few that were played that night. I really enjoyed seeing them play and they are popular for reason.
Naturally, a Christian-based university will require those attending to take part in some form of chapel. Chapel proves to be an amazing opportunity for students to grow closer to the Lord and learn more about Him.
