As usual, Shove Council enjoyed delicious food and discussion this past Wednesday. The group meets the first three Wednesdays of every block. On Wednesday, March 8, President Dick Celeste and Shove Council participated in the dedication of the labyrinth outside Shove Chapel.
Corbin Hillam, Colorado College’s famous chalk artist, is starting up a weekly Compline service. Compline is the liturgical end of the day. The service will consist of silence, worship, and icons. It is not affiliated with any particular campus group, and there is no sign-up sheet. Services will take place on Thursdays in Shove Chapel from 7 to 8 p.m. Hillam said founders of Compline, “have a very simple vision of all the Faith groups coming together to worship once a week.”
Come check out the new labyrinth outside Shove Chapel and Olin Science center. Labyrinth walks will begin second semester. For more information contact Linda Madden, Chapel Manager at 389-6638.
The Chaplain’s Office ended the semester by hosting an Interfaith Holiday Party in Worner on Saturday, December 17. Several groups brought food and set up arts and crafts tables in Worner, representing their religious traditions during the holiday season. Candles were also available in Shove throughout the night for those wishing to say a prayer or have a moment of silence.
Join us today at noon in the Shove Chapel Office for a discussion on natural disasters and human blame. Free sandwich fixings will be provided.
