Chapel Information
Dear Pinewood Parents,
One of the things I’m most looking forward to this year is gathering our entire school together each week for chapel.
Beginning this Thursday, chapel will be held each week from 8:30–9:00 a.m. in the sanctuary.
We are also making a change from last year. Rather than holding two separate chapels for the upper and lower school, our entire school will worship together at the same time. I believe there is real value in our entire community gathering together as well as the youngest and oldest students singing, praying, hearing God’s Word, and being reminded that we are one school with one mission.
I also want to make you aware of a temporary change regarding parent attendance.
After prayer and consideration with the team, I have made the difficult decision that chapel will be limited to students and staff until the parking lot renovation is complete. With our current parking limitations, accommodating additional vehicles immediately following morning car rider line creates operational and logistical challenges that I do not believe we can manage well.
I know some of you have enjoyed attending chapel in the past, and I understand that this may be disappointing. This is not a change in how we view your place in the life of Pinewood. We value having our parents on campus, and we look forward to welcoming you back to chapel as soon as the parking lot is complete.
I appreciate your patience as we work through the temporary challenges that come with the renovation. I’m grateful for the grace you have already shown our staff and one another.
Your servant in Christ,
Taylor Howsmon
