A look back at some of the worship that shaped NSO week.

From moments of stillness and meditation to prayer, preaching, and singing together in chapel, we’re grateful for the many ways our community gathered and made space for God.

Here’s to the beginning of a beautiful year at Candler.

Stay connected to Candler Worship and Spiritual Formation for worship announcements, spiritual formation opportunities, worship and sermon recaps, and more throughout the year.

A moment of stillness and centering for our newest Candler students.

As we begin a new academic year, we’re reminded that this journey is about more than just the classes. It’s about making space to breathe, to listen, to reflect, and to tend to our spiritual lives along the way.

We invite our current students, alumni, faculty, and staff to take a moment with us today. Breathe. Be still. And remember what brought you here.

We hope you’ve enjoyed your summer of worship, reflection, and spiritual exploration as much as our Candler crew. 🇬🇭

As we prepare to welcome new students next week for NSO, we’re looking forward to gathering with you for a new year of learning, worship, community, and discovery.

Until then, a few moments from the Candler crew in Ghana. We can’t wait to see you back on campus!

As Dean Williams steps into a season of newness, we’re holding her in prayer and inviting you to pause with us.

Perhaps you are stepping into a new season, too. As Dean Williams teaches, let us take a moment to breathe, to reflect, to be grateful, to be still, and to be grateful for the new path ahead.

Whatever this next season holds for you, may the road ahead be filled with grace, courage, and joy. May it be glorious. Ase and Amen.
