Lack of Seriousness in Chapel

this is actually the issue that inspired me to create this blog. I go to a christian school where every wednesday we have chapel. its like church at school. well, the thing is, the speakers we have had come teach us have gotten worse and worse. this bothered me a little last year but i figured its not aweful so why do anything? but at this point i seem almost morally obligated to say something. two or three chapels ago we came in to see our speaker, an old man who was a professional recorder player. all the chapel was was him playing his recorder and then giving us a lecture about pilgrims. Not once. NOT ONCE was the Bible even mentioned. i was horrified. he was indeed an inteligent man but what has it come to where the bible isnt mentioned in chapel? i, and a few other student are writing the board to speak out against this. Even if you take a random survey at our school, i have no doubt that 90-95 percent of students consider chapel either naptime or another studyhall. How and when did chapel completely lose sight of worship? I'm on the worship team at school [i lead the singing] and all but once we've been canceled. I'm truly afraid that we have stopped seeing the real importance of fellowship and worship. and this makes me legitimately sad. I ask you now is there anyone else out there who has the same problem at their school or church?
