The Advent Service is the largest Marquand Chapel event each year. It marks the end of the fall semester and is followed by a festive celebration in the Common Room. The Advent Service liturgy is highly creative, often drawing in a wide range of contributions from the YDS community. Through scripture, song, spoken word, drama, the visual arts and more, we together anticipate the coming of Christ. Maddie Hill and Mahogany Thomas; with readings by Rebecca Ogus, Professor Peter Hawkins, Dean Gregory Sterling, James Cogman, Essence Ellis, Mike Macalintal, Matthew Blake, Deonie Duncan, David DeLeon, Alicia Fowler, Maritza Bond, Phoenix Gonzalez, Professor Benjamin Valentin, Amina Shumake; prayers led by Jonathan Lee, Joshua Huber, Dean Cathy George, and Professor Mark Heim; featuring dance from Khaleelah Harris, Kelsey Creech, Tori Crook, Sarah Dirk, and Allie Howard; special music led by Berit Goetz, the Marquand Chapel Choir, the Marquand Gospel and Inspirational Choir, Yale Black Seminarians Choir; and so much more!
