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:

-July 19th at 6PM

-August 23rd at 6PM

-September 20th at 6PM

Join us for "How to Pray" this Summer

Join us for an 8-week course called "How to Pray" beginning Tuesday, June 3rd at 7pm at Wegman's. We'll meet each Tuesday outside on the covered patio as weather allows, and move inside their dining area when necessary. This course will utilize biblical guidance for prayer each week with teaching from founders of the 24/7 Prayer movement. Let us know you're coming


SIGN UP HERE

worship with friends!

This June 29th at 10 AM, we're shaking things up and joining forces with our amazing friends from LifeChurch and St. Joseph's for our super-special 5th Sunday worship gathering! LifeChurch is hosting this epic morning at The Foundry (7326 Sunrise Rd, Chapel Hill), so we won't be at The Varsity this particular Sunday. Don't worry, we'll be back home at The Varsity on July 6th at 10 AM. Get ready for a fantastic time of worship and connection!

Alien and strangers: Strangers among us

by: pastor val burgard


“To Gods elect, exiles scattered throughout…. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade.”


Peter understood that these new Christians were figuring out how to live their new faith in a world that often didn't understand them. They were strangers, even to those they loved. But Peter didn't want them to be caught off guard by suffering. He wanted them to see incredible opposition as incredible opportunity to showcase the life-changing impact of Jesus.


Peter's saying, 'Let your life do the talking.' Live in a way that blows away the wrong ideas people have about Christians. He believes that kind of living will win them over, and one day, they'll be giving God the glory when Jesus comes back.

 


COMMUNION IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE. GLUTEN FREE OPTION AVAILABLE
