Seniors partake in annual tradition
FC held its annual Christmas chapel in which the senior class serenades the rest of the student body, with their reading of the Christmas story, Dec. 9.
Every year, as somewhat of a semester finale, the leadership class creates post cards with increments of the tale of Jesus’ birth. Leadership teacher, Robert Foshee, explained why he thinks it is important to have the seniors read during chapel.
“Well number one, the seniors reading is tradition,” Foshee said. “But number two, I think it is important to have the senior put forth a little Christmas spirit for the younger classes. It kind of gives the seniors something to pass on to the other kids to kick off Christmas break.”
To conclude the chapel, the crowd was divided into three sections and were given one of three tasks. One section was given bells, one was given drum sticks and one was left with their bare hands to make music.
Following the distribution of the instruments, a game, quite similar to Guitar Hero, was displayed on the big screens. The students were then required to play their interment, or clap their hands, in accordance with the on-screen requirements.
Foshee got the idea for this fun and interactive game after witnessing it during a Sunday service at Peoples Church. After collaboration with worship team leader, Daniel Garrison, leadership was able to lead the crowd in their musical fiasco which included many popular Christmas carols.
With such a unique elements being added to the chapel service, many students enjoyed the interactiveness. Senior, Joseph Lange shared his thoughts on the service.
“I liked this chapel a lot because it allowed all the students to work together to get something done,” Lange said. “For some people, it can get kinda boring just sitting in chapel and listening to worship. This time they did a good job of mixing things up.”
