Chapel
 
 

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, skirt, or dress pants with 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, offerings for the fall months may go to support the work of missionaries in Africa or Southeast Asia. At other times, offerings have supported a project providing opportunities for widows in India to support their children by keeping milk cows. Recently, the offerings have gone to support an orphanage in Bulgaria and a water project for a small village in western Africa. 

Traditionally, the November offering goes to the Central Virginia Food Bank, and in December, students bring toys and clothing for the Christmas Mother Program. Winter month offerings last year went to CARITAS, an organization of churches around the Richmond area to provide shelter for the homeless. In addition, school supplies were collected and sent to schools for children in Third World countries. In the spring our offerings went to the Wishing Well Project at Children’s Hospital in Richmond.
