The Singers graced the chapel stage throughout the Fall 2008 Convocation ceremony on September 12, the first convocation since the devastating tornado of February 5. With the theme of "A New Day," the program emphasized God's mercy and providence during the massive and speedy rebuilding effort of the spring and summer. The Singers supported the congregational singing of several hymns and presented an anthem for the enjoyment of the audience.
Immediately following Convocation, many of those assembled moved to the Penick plaza in view of the newly completed dormitory quads for a service of dedication. Proclamation, Union's chamber vocal group, assembled on the makeshift stage and performed a moving rendition of How Firm a Foundation, arranged and directed by Dr. Chris Mathews.
