This past summer I had the privilege of visiting St Andrews, Scotland, for the first time. Of course, we did the golf thing, getting to walk the Old Course only days after the pros had finished the 150th Open tournament. But we were really there to experience first-hand the location where our Presbyterian tradition was […]
St. Andrews Sunday 2022
St. Andrews Sunday is a uniquely Chapel Hill tradition in which we celebrate our Scottish, Presbyterian, and Reformed heritage, and also remember those from our church family who have passed away, and on whose shoulders we stand. Enjoy all the music, prayers, and the time of remembrance as you watch this full service held Sunday, […]
Jesus’ Power and Authority
During the closing song at last week’s 10:30 service, a woman in our congregation received a text message that said, “Your husband has placed an emergency call. He is currently located at the below location.” And it displayed a map of the church building. She was sitting by herself, without her husband, so she immediately […]
The Call of Christ

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 […]
Greet One Another
This summer, my family and I got to go back to our home country of the UK for the first time since the pandemic began. We visited all sorts of different places, like Dublin, Oxford, St Andrews and Edinburgh, taking in historic Christian sites, like Glendalough, Iona, and St Andrews Cathedral, alongside studying contemporary issues […]
Care for One Another
Good morning everyone. My name is Julie Hawkins, and I am one of the pastors here. I can’t believe that this is the last week of summer break. Does anyone else feel like summer just flew by? And we are back to school this week! For all of you parents out there that are feeling […]
