“Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.” Mk. 9:50b

 DONUTS have returned!  Thanks for adding some sweetness to your life and supporting our youth and young adults!

On Sunday, November 21st our youth, young adults and adult sponsors helped prepare Chapel Hill for Advent and Christmas.  We had lots of fun decking the halls and hanging the greens!

Welcome to Advent!

Time to prepare our hearts for Jesus’ birth.

This week: HOPE

Read: Luke 21:25-36

Ponder: To have found God, to have experienced him in the intimacy of our being, to have lived even for one hour in the fire of his Trinity and the bliss of his Unity clearly makes us say:  “Now I understand.  You alone are enough for me.”  -Carlo Carretto 

 

Illuminations set-up at BOTANICA, Sunday Nov. 14th:

      

Thanks for volunteering in our community!

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7th we packed 120 lunches for OPEN DOOR.  Pictured above: “sandwich towers.”  Thank you, Chapel Hill for continuing to support our volunteer work in the community.  All of the money placed in the offering basket on our Youth & Young Adult table in the Fellowhsip Hall helps.  We are grateful.
