College of the Ozarks announces summer chapel time change

College of the Ozarks Williams Memorial Chapel is hosting evening Sunday chapel services, every other week, throughout the summer. The services are June 1, June 15, June 29, July 13, July 27, and Aug. 10, 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. 

The time change allows students to get connected and attend local church services and then come together in the evenings and worship as a campus community. The time change also allows students to earn required chapel credit for the fall semester. 

“Moving chapel services to evenings in the summer benefits students by avoiding chapel and work schedule conflicts,” said Dr. Justin Carswell, vice president for Christian ministries and student development. “It also allows students to be able to attend regular worship services with their campus community.”

This summer, chapel services will be centered around a study of the Gospel of Matthew.

The evening services are open to the public and take place in Williams Memorial Chapel. Chapel dress attire is not required. A group of students will lead worship and the Scripture readings, then a 20-minute sermon will be given by Carswell, Dr. Justin Sharp, campus minister, or a guest.
