"In the beginning God." So begins the "book of beginnings", The Book of Genesis.  Begin with God and everything else comes after. Part of what comes after is, of course, the daily round of classes and activities at King's-Edgehill. But we begin each day in Chapel with the contemplative activity of prayer and praise - a dance of the soul, if you will.   

In keeping with the history and tradition of the School, the daily chapel service is a simplified form of (Anglican) Morning Prayer. First, there is a hymn - sung, if not fervently, at least heartily, we hope! - followed by a Scriptural sentence for the day or season, then Confession and Absolution, the Lord's Prayer, a Scripture Lesson from the Old or New Testament, an Homily which seeks to provide an understanding of the images of Scripture, a few prayers and a moment of silence before saying together the School Prayer, the Blessing and a final hymn. All rather simple, short and sweet. An important beginning to the "busyness" of the day. A reflective, contemplative moment.
