New Thursday Night Chapels

The Council of Graduate Students (COGS) is delighted to continue its service as an advocate for student affairs while serving the entire Regent community. Before this year begins, we wish to inform you of a new student chapel initiative that COGS and Campus Ministries has developed.

New Thursday night chapels will include opportunities for prayer, contemporary worship, and relevant messages for Regent students. This service will be held on Thursday nights from 8:30 to 10:00 PM in the Library Auditorium beginning on Thursday, September 10. We believe that this new evening chapel will meet a broad range of student interests and help build a stronger campus community at Regent.
