On the day before the inauguration ceremony, the Messiah College community worshipped and celebrated together at the Inauguration Chapel service, coordinated by the Department of College Ministries. A special time of joyous and energetic music, renewal and reflection, the chapel featured music by Messiah’s JazzONE and the United Voices of Praise gospel choir, and an inspiring message by the Rev. Nathan Baxter, rector of St. James Episcopal Church in Lancaster, Pa.
