A Peaceful Respite at Southwestern University

The candlelight service of the Advent season at Southwestern University’s Lois Perkins Chapel is a always beautiful and well-attended.   Recent cold temperatures and moist roads could’ve kept worshipers away, but that was not the case as the chapel filled with people and light, including 4-year-old Beatrix Chigoy, who came with her parents, Byron and Nichole Chigoy of Georgetown.   As the candles were lit, people sang “Silent Night” and slowly filed out of the chapel.   Most deposited their candles at the exit, but Southwestern University junior Emily Wick managed to keep hers going outside despite a persistent Central Texas wind.   All in all, a very peaceful service.
