upcoming services & SCHEDULE
TWO SERVICES ON SUNDAYS - 9:30AM & 11:15AM
February 5
“The Happiest Place on Earth”
Rev. Thom Belote, preaching
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics recently published a study on the places where Americans are happiest. It turns out the answer is not Disney World. It’s church! Paradoxically, even in an age where church attendance is declining, Americans report that participation in religious community is a leading source of happiness and meaning. Join us for a service exploring our commitment to lives of meaning, service, and joy. Both services will also include a recognition of our newest Members.
February 12
Frog & Toad Puppet Theater
Rev. Thom Belote & Marion Hirsch, leading worship
Forty years ago, Rev. Gordon Draught introduced puppetry to worship services at Community Church. This morning, join us as we continue that tradition by reenacting one of Arnold Lobel’s beloved stories. We’ll be joined by Frog and Toad for this multigenerational service that will be fun for all ages.
February 19
Restful, or Restless?
Rev. Thom Belote, preaching
Several ministerial colleagues recently shared with me that they are reading books about rest. (One recent book, “Rest Is Resistance,” is written by Tricia Hersey, who calls herself the Nap Bishop.) I will be the first to admit that this is not my strength, and I try to resist temptations to rest. Come and hear the reflections and challenges posed by this new literature.
February 26
Campus Ministry Sunday
This is a great opportunity to hear what is going on in the spiritual lives of the college students who are members of the UU group at UNC sponsored by The Community Church. Join us this Sunday for a service led by the members of our UNC Campus Fellowship.
