A chorus of grateful voices resounded in the Upper Room Chapel on Aug. 20, joining together in celebrating 90 years of The Upper Room devotional.

The pocket-sized magazine is a fixture in churches, homes, prisons and care facilities, providing a source of hope for readers around the world. It is one of the longest continuously published daily devotional, according to The Upper Room.

“Now, more than ever, we believe in the mission of helping people create daily life with God and helping people deepen their faith,” said the Rev. Jeff Campbell, top staff executive of Discipleship Ministries and interim publisher of The Upper Room. “We’re just as excited about the future of The Upper Room as they were in 1935.

“It’s very humbling to be part of something so big and wonderful that so many people have worked on over these 90 years. It’s humbling to be a part of something so universally meaningful to people.”
