Splash into Summer with Love Chapel Hill at Jordan Lake!

Get ready for some serious fun in the sun! Our annual Jordan Lake Day is just around the corner, and trust us, it's one of Love Chapel Hill's absolute favorite, most anticipated days of the year!

Join us on Sunday, August 3rd, starting at 2:30 PM at Jordan Lake for an unforgettable afternoon of sunshine, cool water, delicious food, and fantastic friends.

Whether you're looking for a quick splash-and-dash or want to hang out with us all day, you're totally welcome!

We'll be serving up some tasty food and serving refreshing drinks to keep you fueled up. Plus, we're bringing plenty of floating devices so you can drift lazily on the water. And don't worry about the heat โ€“ our comfy, covered home base is just steps from the beach, offering a perfect spot to relax in the shade!

This day is for everyone who loves good vibes, great company, and making memories by the lake!


Just bring:

  • Something you're okay with getting wet (swimsuit, quick-dry clothes!)
  • Your favorite sunscreen
  • And, of course, your brightest smile! ๐Ÿ˜„

To help us make sure there's enough food for every hungry swimmer, would you mind taking a quick moment to fill out the RSVP below? It'll be a huge help!

Need a ride? The Love Van has got you covered! Just let us know on the RSVP form if you need a lift.

We can't wait to see you there!

DIRECTIONS

NEW course starting in August

Join LCH leadership as we explore together what it means to build spaces of intentional community together. The community course is geared toward current and potential leaders of a community group (former called small groups), but is open to anyone wanting to explore the spiritual practice of community. This course will use material from the Practicing the Way mini-course on Community. In each session we will gather around a meal together and explore 4 practices of community groups: be family around a table, share your joys and sorrows, confess your sins, stay together to grow. There will be time for discussing what this looks like in practice and where God is leading each of us in our efforts toward community building.

These 4 sessions will take place on Sunday evenings in August from 5:30-7 in South Durham. (Location specifics to follow via email upon sign up.)

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

King of hearts: "Two of a kind"

by: Pastor justin simmons


โ€œPick a card, any card.โ€ Magicians are masters of illusion. We build illusions of titles, status, and positions of influence. What if everything youโ€™re showing the world is a carefully crafted illusion? What if God sees right through it? For four weeks, weโ€™ll expose the hidden hearts of biblical Kings, uncovering the radical truth that God works not with our perfect facades, but with our imperfect, authentic selves. Prepare to be seen!


In our roles, our callings, our lives - God looks beyond what the world sees. He is seeking character, integrity, and a heart that reflects His own. Exploring the contrasting paths of Saul and David, and discovering how Godโ€™s view of our hearts will determine our influence in this cultural moment.

Deeper Dive:

I think we have a winning hand!

Ready to stack the deck and go all in with the "King of Hearts" sermon series? join the winning streak every Wednesday night at 7:30 PM on Zoom for our "Here's the Deal" Bible study!

The lives of Saul and David are packed with insights into our own relationship with God, and we'll explore them together. Expect a deeper dive into the scripture, guided by the Sunday preacher. It's the perfect way to learn and grow as a community!
