Love Chapel Hill at the old well!

Hey Love Chapel Hill Family,

Get ready to take our praise and worship for Jesus out into the heart of our community! This spring and summer, we're excited to announce that we'll be holding special worship gatherings at the iconic Old Well on UNC's campus.

Going back to the early days of Love Chapel Hill, the Old Well has always been a meaningful place for intentional connection and sharing the love of Jesus with new people. We're thrilled to return to this tradition of "Intentional incarnation" on campus.

Join us for a time of singing songs of love and worship to our God in this unique setting. We'll be gathering one Saturday a month at the Old Well.

Come and join us!


Please mark these dates in your calendar and meet us on campus:

-August 23rd at 6PM

-September 20th at 6PM

Reasonable Faith event

Why does evil exist in a world created by a good God? Can suffering have meaning? Is belief in God still reasonable in the face of tragedy? Join us for a thought-provoking presentation and open discussion on one of life's most challenging questions: the problem with evil. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just curious, this event is a welcoming space for all perspectives and backgrounds.

origin stories: humanity

by: Pastor justin simmons


From the beginning point of the cosmos to the roots of your family tree, we all have origin stories. Going back to the start, exploring those origin stories of our world, humanity, and our place in it all, can open up the path to deeper meaning and purpose. The Origin of The Cosmos, The World and Humanity are described in most religions and cultures, as well as ancient mythology, however The Biblical narrative uniquely reveals a design where we are invited into a collaborative venture of Holy Love between the Creator and the created. This is a place of freedom, in the presence of God, to trace from the roots of the family tree forward to Jesus and who we are called to be today.


DEEPER DIVE RESOURCES:

BIBLE PROJECT VIDEO: GENESIS 1

PODCAST: GENESIS 1 AND THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSe - bible Project

COMMUNION IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE. GLUTEN FREE OPTION AVAILABLE
