ADVENT GROUP STUDY
Christmas means family—the complex mix of people, places, and stories that make us who we are. Some family stories are beautiful; others are deeply painful. Regardless of your history, God is with you and invites you into His family story through Jesus.
Join us this Advent season for ROOTS: Advent and the Family Story of Jesus.
We'll gather weekly to watch a short, insightful discussion video by series author Dan Wilt, followed by a conversation about how Jesus connects us to the enduring roots of God's redemptive plan. It's a journey to see how your story fits into His.
Join Us Weekly in December!
When:
Tuesdays at 7:00 PM
Where:
The Foundry, 7326 Sunrise Rd. Chapel Hill
Dates:
Tuesday 12/2
Tuesday 12/9
Tuesday 12/16
Tuesday 12/23
Help a neighbor in need!
As the weather turns toward winter, we're keenly aware of our friends and neighbors who are enduring the elements; exposed to the cold, day and night. We want to make sure folks have what they need to stay safe and warm - COATS, HATS, GLOVES, SOCKS, BLANKETS or SLEEPING BAGS - and YOU CAN HELP! Spread the word that we are collecting these items now and through December and distributing them directly to folk in need. You can download and share the flyer here.
Invite friends, neighbors, co-workers to consider donating new or gently used items. Looking to purchase items? Consider these or like items on our Amazon Wishlist.
Join the Reasonable Faith chapter for an open, evidence-oriented dialogue exploring one of Christianity's most challenging claims: The Virgin Birth – Miracle or Hoax?
We'll tackle the tough questions: Do miracles break the laws of nature? If God is real, why wouldn't miracles happen? Everyone is invited, whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or simply curious.
Date & Time: Saturday, December 13th, 2025 | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM Location: Drakeford Library Complex, Carrboro (Southern Meeting Room 114) Admission: Free, with coffee and snacks provided.

Roots: "A Christmas Story"
by: Pastor Joel Philbrook
When we think of Christmas and the season of Advent that anticipates it, many of us think of family. It's that wonderful, sometimes strange mix of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins, grandparents, and even the people who aren't family but feel like it.
As followers of Jesus, we are part of the family of God, a body bonded by love and faith. This connection provides us with more than just a spiritual lineage; it gives us a sense of enduring connection to the people of Israel and a place in God’s relentless covenant story with humanity. This is a story that reached its zenith in the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus not only had a family line and a family homeland, but He also had a family story—a covenant heritage that carried all the hopes and dreams of His people. His life and ministry were fundamentally built on this long, long story of humanity, going all the way back to Genesis.
This Advent, we will explore the roots of Jesus's family story. We will discover a narrative of hope, see His faithful lineage bring peace, find joy in unexpected places, and witness the radical love that binds us all together. Jesus has a family story, and this Advent, we are invited to join Him in it.
COMMUNION IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE. GLUTEN FREE OPTION AVAILABLE
