On our vacation, Cyndi and I played a lot of golf. But one hole we played was especially memorable. Terrifying, in fact. It was steep and the grass was wet. Cyndi said, “Shouldn’t we stay on the cart path? I said, “Nah…they’d have signs up if it were cart path only.” So, I started straight […]
Lord of the Sabbath | Luke 6:1-11 | Chapel Hill Church

Don’t Miss the Mission
This past summer I had the privilege of visiting St Andrews, Scotland, for the first time.

Conquering the Splitter
A few days ago, I was dead asleep when my alarm went off. I almost always wake up before the alarm…and it was really loud…so I rolled over quickly to turn it off. What I didn’t realize was how close I was to the edge of the bed. I rolled right out of the bed…and […]
Finding Your Voice
Good morning, my Sweetheart Church! I’m Pastor Mark Toone and it is great to welcome you to the kickoff of another program year at Chapel Hill. I saw a lot of cheek-kissing going on in the foyer this morning so I assume you must have been here last week to hear Pastor Ellis’ sermon on […]
