Prayer Days are dedicated moments each semester when we pause academic routines\, cancel classes\, and come together – students\, faculty\, staff\, alumni\, and friends – to focus on one of our core values. Through worship\, teaching\, prayer\, and small group reflection\, we seek renewal\, unity\, and a deeper connection with God and one another. \nDuring this time\, we require that all undergraduate students participate\, though all students are welcome. Student workers may not work until 3 pm on Prayer Days. \nSchedule: \n\n8:30 am – Donuts in front of Shortess Chapel\n8:45 – 9:15 am – Opening Gathering in Shortess\n9:15 am – 12:00 pm – Join your community group and visit stations around campus\n12:15 – 1:45 pm – Lunch & Break\n2:00 – 2:30 pm – Closing Gathering in Shortess
