Renovation
work started on the LCU Hargrove Chapel on Wednesday. The
auditorium is getting a facelift this summer with new
flooring, theater seating instead of long pew benches and
fresh paint.
Seeing the project underway brought back memories for LDN's
Karen Hargis, who is a graduate of LCU. "I came to Lincoln
in 1971 to go to school at LCU (Lincoln Christian College
then). That first year there was no chapel, but big plans
were in the making for it. I was one of the many students
that went to help tear down the corn crib that stood where
the chapel is now. I was one of the students that snuck in
while the chapel was being built to watch the massive
construction and to pray. I remember thinking this was Holy
ground back then and even now.
"Thousands have entered that place for chapel service,
conferences, plays, concerts, and even funerals. I wonder
how many have had the same thought about it seeming like
Holy ground, and yet I am reminded that it is not the place
that is Holy; it's the Holy One that hears those prayers.
Wherever we are, that place becomes His holy ground."
