Pastor’s Message: August 10, 2020

Well, CHUMC Family, we continue to worship online and hope you are finding our online worship helpful during this time, even though it is not the same as in-person worship. In recent weeks, you may have noticed we are back to providing announcement slides for worship. With this in mind, you may have something coming...

Pastor’s Message: July 20th, 2020

During Lent, our Thursday night bible study group and the Class Menagerie began a study of The Walk by Adam Hamilton. Some have been able to finish the study via Zoom video conferencing. Our children have begun studying the material this summer and the youth will follow soon. The book itself is a great review of the...

Pastor’s Message: July 13th, 2020

In our current sermon series on Paul’s epistle to the Romans, we have mentioned mutuality a few times. The life of mutuality contrasts with the life of exploitation as exhibited in the life of the mind that is set on the flesh. This is the life of self-pleasing. It is the empire mindset.  In a...

Pastor’s Message: July 6th, 2020

Hello CHUMC Family, I hope you had a joyous holiday weekend.  If you have been struggling with the technical issues we have had with our worship livestream on YouTube and Facebook, our constant testing and troubling shooting seems to have us close to returning to a quality and consistent livestream. You may have noticed we...

Pastor’s Message: June 15th, 2020

Consider the possibilities of a fully benevolent God revealed in Christ as we discussed in worship this past Sunday. A God who, rather than being so angry that someone had to be punished for sin, but who limited the consequences by enacting that punishment on God’s child, instead sends God’s child to enact obedience, even...

Pastor’s Message: June 1st, 2020

Well, CHUMC family, we continue to worship online through at least the month, and once we open it will be in stages so it may be some time before things return to normal. One other result of our current circumstances has been the inability to have an all-church meeting so I thought I would give...

Pastor’s Message: May 26th, 2020

As businesses start to open and some things are starting to reach a form of new normal, it is natural for a question to arise: when will we be able to gather for in-person worship once again? We know increasing numbers of churches are gathering back together and may wonder when that will include us. ...

Pastor’s Message About the Coming Weeks

Chapel Hill Family, “…a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me… Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.'” – 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 Paul writes about...
