Festival of Hope
Did you know that Chapel Hill Church’s first Christmas Bazaar was help 59 years ago in 1965? We have continued the tradition through the decades, and this year we are inviting you to start your Christmas shopping at Festival of Hope!
Join us Sunday, November 17, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Chapel Hill Gathering Place.
This isn’t just another holiday marketplace—it’s a chance to make a positive impact and connection with our global partners in Thailand, Haiti, and beyond. Find unique treasures to inspire loved ones, including handmade ornaments, jewelry, coffee, and chocolate. Each item carries a story of hope, preventing trafficking and helping working families to thrive.
At Festival of Hope, you’ll hear stories of real people whose lives have been transformed by dignified work. These artisans and farmers, many of whom are survivors of trauma, bear the image of God and are working toward a brighter future for themselves and their families. Each purchase you make is a step toward empowering them, contributing to economic stability, and helping fight against human trafficking and poverty.
The Chapel Hill HeBrews Coffee Shop outside the Gathering Place will be open throughout Festival of Hope. Coffee and snacks will be available for purchase.
Sign up here to volunteer.
