View pictures and history of Sage Chapel.

Wednesdays at 12:15 P.M. During University Sessions
Sage Wednesdays, from 12:15 - 1:15 P.M., replaces the Sage Chapel Sunday service. Sage Wednesdays will provide the campus and the local community an opportunity to reflect upon and discuss the important issues of our time, creating the space for scholarly exploration, spiritual meditation and/or some combination thereof.

Not a worship service, more than a lecture, Sage Wednesdays allows for the expression of a public philosophy and public theology and consideration of the personal pursuit of meaning and purpose. Speakers and music starting at 12:15 p.m. will alternate with the recital series 'Midday Music for Organ,'starting at 12:30 p.m. on Sage Wednesdays. There will be refreshments at 12:15 on Midday Music Wednesdays.

Sage Wednesdays in the Fall will highlight the general theme "Be the Change," a theme relevant amidst a presidential election season of historic proportions and the plethora of contemporary national and international challengesl. Join us!
