Student Preacher Sunday
On Sunday, March 5, 2023, we will continue our tradition of having an undergraduate student preach for our 11:00 a.m. worship service.
Maybe you've never thought about preaching at the Chapel, but you feel strangely compelled to give voice to what the Spirit of God is stirring in you. Perhaps you have considered what it would be like to preach in the pulpit at Duke Chapel. Or maybe you are just curious what it feels like to write a sermon.
Regardless of what motivates you to consider this opportunity, we hope you will consider applying to be the student preacher for this year. To apply, please submit your sermon manuscript to the Rev. Bruce Puckett by Friday, January 20, 2023.
The sermon should be based on one or more of these texts.
- Genesis 12:1-4a
- Psalm 121
- Romans 4:1-5, 13-17
- John 3:1-17 or Matthew 17:1-9
