On Saturday, December 10th our youth and children met at the church to wrap presents and  to go to the Metrocrest store to sort toys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This wonderful group of children and adults delivered 3 carloads of food to Metrocrest and shelved it until the shelves were full. We still had a grocery cart full and many cans left on the counter. Thank you: to all those who brought food or said prayers for our efforts to be multiplied. God's bounty was truly evident through our actions.

A wise Bishop once said that a church without youth is sure to die out.  Here at Chapel Hill UMC, we believe in that statement as well as the importance of sharing Jesus Christ with our youth {6th-12th grade} by planting a seed, fostering, and growing that relationship.  It is the goal of the Chapel Hill Youth to create disciples who transform the world through Jesus Christ. With this goal in mind, Chapel Hill Youth, in guidance with the Holy Spirit, provide the ministry opportunities and resources necessary to foster growth and achieve this goal.  

Go in Peace!
