High Point University Fall 2011-Spring 2012 High Point University University Station Montlieu Avenue High Point, NC 27262-3598 NON-PROFIT ORG. U.S. Postage PAID High Point, NC Permit No .95 chapel newspaper Chapel Services and Christian Worship Classes Over 10,400 attendees supported the 33 chapel worship services during the 2010-11 academic terms. The services are run by the Board of Stewards of the Hayworth Chapel, composed entirely of students. The primarily all-student congregation collected over $11,550 in offerings. These offerings provided toys and clothes for 151 needy children at Christmas through the High Point Salvation Army Angel Tree Program and contributed over $3,300 to West End Ministries of High Point. Both traditional and non-traditional Evening Degree Program students may register in sequence for three Christian Worship Classes, Religion 1019, 1020, and 1021. Religion 1019 and 1020 each offer one hour of academic credit, and Religion 1021 offers two hours of academic credit. The schedule of services for 2011-2012 can be found in this publication. The Charles E. Hayworth Sr. Memorial Chapel and The Department of Religion and Philosophy From The Spire by Dr. Hal Warlick, Dean of the Chapel Worship services at High Point University are held Wednesday evenings, 5:30-6:15 p.m. These ecumenical services are scheduled during this time slot for many reasons. Students indicate that the day and time are conducive to their needs and interests as they navigate tests, papers, and the academic week. No undergraduate Evening Degree classes are held on Wednesdays so the Chapel truly is a place where the whole student body can gather. By not competing with local churches, we are able to utilize their numerous and quality choirs to supplement our own choirs, and can encourage students to attend one on the Sabbath. For additional information about some local churches go to www.highpoint.edu/chapel and click on “local churches.” In addition to the Dean of the Chapel, Dr. Tom Stockton serves as our Bishop in Residence. Bishop Stockton provides invaluable assistance to the campus by offering professional counsel to those preparing for a church vocation, working with students to handle personal problems, relating to concerns of parents, and visiting students in the hospital. The University provides a variety of religious organizations, and these groups are worthy of your involvement and respect. Last but not least, students find a willing and caring faculty and a competent Student Life Office to support their college experience. “Each week, services in the Charles E. Hayworth Sr. Memorial Chapel are packed with students, faculty, and staff who commune together in a time of Christian fellowship. Without question or exception, these Chapel services nourish our souls and feed our hearts. Dr. Hal Warlick, Dean of the Chapel, is masterful at leading students and adult volunteers in meaningful worship and in service projects which reach out to our community. These stewards of Christian service stand as examples to the rest of the campus. We are grateful for their commitment to the University, and we give them our full support.” “As Bishop-In-Residence, I work with students, parents, administrators, and faculty as the institution seeks to better serve students and honor its responsibilities as a private, church-related university. I also enjoy preaching for Chapel worship services several times each semester. Please know my desire is to be of service to students and parents alike.” “The students and community members who worship in the Chapel at High Point University are an inspiration to me and all who know them. Few universities in America have as vibrant and as well-attended worship services as does ours. I invite you to come and add your name and presence to this continuing legacy. It is truly your Chapel, a place we can all gather as one body in Christ.” Bishop Thomas B. Stockton Bishop-In-Residence Dr. Hal Warlick Dean of the Chapel Dr. Nido R.

Hayworth, Sr. Memorial Chapel provide opportunities for the University community, visitors, and citizens of High Point to gather weekly during the academic year for inspiring music, meaningful messages, and personal and community reflection.

The mission of West End Ministries is to make the West End of High Point a safer and better place for all who live, learn, work or worship there. West End Ministries is a nonprofit organization which was started in 2001 by a coalition of three churches – English Road Baptist, First Reformed United Church of Christ (now Christ’s Community Church) and Rankin Memorial United Methodist. The ministries include an anti-drug initiative, Kids Café which feeds children hot meals three evenings a week, a thrift store, selling quality goods at very low prices, West End Boys and Girls Clubs which meet after school and on school holidays to provide a safe place for young people to do homework, learn life skills and play, and Leslie’s House, an emergency crisis shelter for homeless single women. It is the hope of the Board of Stewards that these donations will have a great impact on the valuable work of this organization in High Point.

Annual Religious Life Expo to be Held Following the First Wednesday Chapel Service This year, the Religious Life Expo will be held following the first Wednesday Chapel Worship Service, on August 24, 2011. Both the Expo and the Chapel Service have been great successes, and wonderful ways to introduce students and parents alike to the Religious Life opportunities here on our campus. The Religious Life Expo gives incoming students an opportunity at the very beginning of the college experience to explore the various student-led religious organizations and to meet some of the University’s student leaders. The Expo will be held in the Fellowship Hall, where a crowd from the worship service gathers following the service. Approximately 100-125 students browse the displays that the organizations set up and talk with representatives from the various groups. Participating groups will include the Board of Stewards, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (now Athletes in Action), Campus Crusade for Christ, College Life, Alpha Delta Theta, Delta Iota Alpha, Alpha Phi Omega, Chapel Choir, Genesis Gospel Choir, University Singers, the Association of Jewish Students, Theology Club, Toccatatones and Petal Points. Theta Alpha Kappa members, the Religion Honors Society, with faculty Advisor, Dr. Phil Norwood PAGE 15 THE ROLE OF MUSIC IN CHAPEL WORSHIP The role of music in chapel worship is to enable, enliven, and enrich all who seek a relationship with God and to help provide a vehicle where our faith can be expressed and strengthened. Even as we believe music to be a central expression of faith, devotion, praise, piety, and celebration, we also believe it is a fundamental vehicle of evangelism and outreach into the community. We affirm that music has been since the beginning of time an avenue used by God as a means to redeem and edify humanity, and is understood as a paramount medium whereby the God/human, human/God relationship is expressed. We therefore strive to offer God and this worshipping community our very best music, not as a reflection of our greatness or because God requires artistic perfection, but because we strive to honor and give thanks for the gifts God has first given us!
