"Let us never get to used to it, for we know that God is in our midst as we go about here daily transforming lives at Lindsey Wilson College." -- John B. Begley By Mariah Stearns and Venus Popplewell, LWC Office of Public Relations COLUMBIA, KY. -- Twenty years ago on a bright autumn day, the Lindsey Wilson College community gathered to dedicate a new building on the A.P. White Campus. That ceremony, held on Oct. 10, 1997, marked the official opening of the John B. Begley Chapel. On Wed., Oct. 18, members of the LWC community gathered again to celebrate the 20th anniversary of a building that has become the symbol of the mission and values of the methodist-affiliated college. "Some events, that may not seem so significant in the natural, are of great significance in the supernatural," LWC Dean of the Chapel Rev. Terry Swan said during the 20th anniversary service. "Twenty years ago we dedicated this building to honor the glory of God, standing in these same places. It went on to be the symbol of our school. Twenty years later, we have lost count of the number of worship services, weddings, all night prayer meetings, lectures, and the number of individuals who just come into this peaceful place and draw closer to God."
