Chapel Services

Many teams in the USA, and occasionally elsewhere, make room in their pre-game activities for a team chapel. This is a tremendous opportunity if done well. Please keep in mind that the decisions related to timing, location, duration and participation are made by the Head Coach. You can find plenty of freedom within the parameters laid out for you. I suggest that the chapel be as convenient to the athletes as possible both in location and timing. I have found a 15 to 30-minute block of time to be plenty for quality prayer time and for a solid, cogent talk. Some of our best chapels have been when I’ve invited guests in to speak. I lead the meeting and the speaker delivers a 5-10 minute talk followed by a season of prayer.
