A Joyful Centennial Founders' Service on Sept. 29
In this centennial year, we mark homecoming weekend and the founding of Duke University with a festive worship service on Sunday, September 29, at 11:00 a.m. The service will celebrate the university's historic motto, Eruditio et Religio ("Knowledge and Religion"), and deep roots of faith.
Leaders from The Duke Endowment, Duke Divinity School, Duke Chapel, and the broader University will be joined by representatives from the Duke family, the Duke Chapel Choir, the Durham Children's Choir, the Amalgam Brass, pianist and vocalist Patrice Turner, bassist John V. Brown, and others as we lift our voices in prayer and song. Chapel Dean Luke A. Powery will deliver the sermon.
The service promises to bring all the joy of Easter to a Sunday in September.
Attendees of this service are advised to arrive early to allow for time to park and because the service is likely to fill up. Overflow seating will be available in the Divinity School's Westbrook Building, Room 0016.
