Monday, July 13, 1:00-1:30pm - CALLED BY NAME: worship rooted in scriptural narratives about God’s people being named, re-named, or longing for a different name; this service will feature special music led by Jathan Martin and Director of Music Nathaniel Gumbs; readings by David Potter, Jessica Yu, Joshua Huber, and Tori Crook; reflection by Director of Chapel Emilie Casey; prayers led by Jalen Parks; and a blessing from our upcoming Dean of Chapel Awet Andemicael.

Monday, July 27, 1:00-1:30pm - BEATITUDES: worship featuring brief reflections by students Essence Ellis, Molli Mitchell, and Dawn Jefferson.
Monday, August 3, 1:00-1:30pm - SELAH: Throughout the book of Psalms, there is a mysterious word that comes up over and over again—selah. But we have no idea what this word means! This service embraces not knowing what selah means, for it is when we do not know how to pray that the Spirit intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. Featuring reading from Toni Morrison’s Beloved.
Monday, August 10 at 1:00 – 1:30 - See marquandchapel.yale.edu/calendar for updates about our worship services and events.
