Observances2003: Marsh Chapel Message and ObservancesSeptember 11, 2003 The following message is from Rev. Dr. Robert C. Neville, dean and University Chaplain; Ms. Meredith Ellis, associate dean; and Rev. James J. Olson, OCC, associate dean. This Thursday, September 11th, marks the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our country. Although most of us have been able to move on in our lives, those family and friends of loved ones lost as well as all individuals involved in search and rescue at all sites still need our special thoughts and prayers. Our hearts go out to the children who lost parents in the tragedy. Please, let us hold them in our hearts and prayers. We here at the chapel will mark the anniversary of September 11th between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. with a bell tolling on the plaza accompanied by silent prayers. Both chapels will be open for prayer all day with candles to light in remembrance. There will be an ecumenical prayer service here in this chapel at 5:00 p.m. The Dean and two Associate Deans are available for personal conversations on theological, religious, moral, social, and relational issues. Please drop-in to see one of them or call them at the chapel office to make an appointment. Know that you are welcome. We are here to listen and to serve all of God’s people.
