Now virtual instead of in Old Morrison Chapel (where it had been), it&#8217;s a chance to read Scripture, sing and pray together. While Wake Up Wednesday is in the Christian tradition, all are welcome to join. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A native of Owensboro, Kentucky, Mahlinger is editor-in-chief of The Rambler school newspaper, and she plays guitar and takes voice lessons at Transy. We asked her about the celebration, which starts at 8:30 a.m. each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How do you benefit from Wake Up Wednesday?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It offers a time to slow down midway through the week and gather as a community for prayer, Scripture reading and music. It&#8217;s a really nice way to start the day and brings a sense of calm amid my often busy schedule as a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Why is it important the services continue during the self-isolation period?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/talyor2-810x440.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10799\" width=\"436\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/talyor2-810x440.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/talyor2-350x190.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/talyor2-730x397.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/talyor2-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/talyor2-1536x835.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/talyor2-2048x1114.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/talyor2-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It keeps the Transy community connected and starts everyone&#8217;s day off on a hopeful note with uplifting music and prayer. It&#8217;s easy to let yourself become weighed down during this trying time, so I think having Wake Up Wednesday every week helps people feel like they&#8217;re still part of a routine. We&#8217;re all going through this self-isolation period together, whether students, staff or faculty, and it&#8217;s nice to stay connected and let the Transy community know they aren&#8217;t alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Are you participating in the planning or presenting of Wake Up Wednesdays?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m responsible for planning the music portion. Each week, I choose a song that corresponds with the Scripture readings and practice it enough times throughout the week so that I feel comfortable leading everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What does it mean to you to be able to take part?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It means a great deal to take part in something as uplifting and meaningful as Wake Up Wednesday, and being able to lead everyone in a song each week feels like a great way to give back to the Transy community. It has also helped me better get to know other students, staff and faculty who attend<em>&nbsp;<\/em>each week, including our interim president, Dr. Williams, and his wife, Lucy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What does the fellowship do for you, particularly now?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My life has been turned upside down like everyone else&#8217;s, so it&#8217;s really nice to feel like I&#8217;m still a part of Transy&#8217;s community, even if it is through my laptop. I&#8217;m so fortunate that technology allows us to stay in touch and provides us with the opportunity to continue having Wake Up Wednesdays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a
