the story



Tomorrow we are starting an open Bible Study through the book of John. We're calling it 'the story: a journey in the life of Jesus.' We'll meet every Tuesday night at 7, upstairs McAlister's Deli on Franklin.

Why Franklin Street? Because it is one of the coolest places on earth. And it also happens to be the historic heart of Chapel Hill. A crossroads of culture where eclectic masses merge. People ask if we have a target audience. Nope. But we have a target place. Give us Franklin Street.

Why a restaurant? Because there is something about a shared meal and a table. The early Church broke bread together frequently and intentionally. Nothing like a little sweet tea to grease the wheels of curiosity and conversation.

Why a Bible study? Because discipleship is about following Jesus. Being rescued by his love and shaped into his image. Our goal is to orient our community, from its earliest days, in the story of Jesus. And explore what it means to live and love like Him.

Pray for us tomorrow night. We want to tell the Story, and help Chapel Hill find her place in it.

A few things.

Number 1: Nice video. It's no rendezvous around Indianapolis cornering people and making them tell you about their tattoo or anything, but it is good, nonetheless.

B: I still appreciate the fact that we share an affinity for ballpoint pens & writing with Sharpies what a #2 pencil could have taken care of.

3: If the commute weren't so long I'd be at the Tuesday night Bible study . . . TNBS? Get back to me with the designated acronym.

D: I'm still working on finding the appropriate clip-art to animate your beloved "Senior Song" Youtube will never be the same.

5: Y'all are awesome. You're in my prayers & I'm so excited to see how God will use you to change Chapel Hill.

Much love. :)

Cool video. I LOVE the creative nature of what you guys are doing. Wish I lived closer to the Hill. We'll be praying for people to make THE Story part of their story.
