Hendricks Chapel will celebrate Black History Month this weekend with dinner, inspirational messages and choir performances.
The celebration will take place during Dean’s Convocation, the award-winning Sunday gathering led by the Rev. Brian E. Konkol, dean of Hendricks Chapel. These weekly gatherings, which begin at 7 p.m. in the Main Chapel, are a place for all people to renew, reflect and rejoice in preparation for the week ahead.
As this week’s guest speaker, Elder Melvin Baker, the Historically Black Church Associate Chaplain, will deliver a message titled “Rough Blessings: Finding Victory in Painful Seasons!” The Black Celestial Choral Ensemble will lead a special performance, in addition to the Hendricks Chapel Choir. Anne Laver, University Organist, and Samuel Kuffuor-Afriyie will both perform the organ at this week’s event.
Before each Dean’s Convocation, Hendricks Chapel also hosts a casual dinner that is free and open to the public. All are welcome to enjoy an inclusive meal and engaging conversation beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Noble Room.
