Summer Sermon Series

This Sunday, we conclude a series of sermons called "Jesus said." 

 

This summer, we've greatly enjoyed exploring some of the things Jesus said in an attempt to get to know Him better. A special thank you to all who joined us for worship during this series. This Sunday, "Jesus said: Follow me!" 


Sixth Grade Ice Cream Social

All 6th graders are welcome to an ice cream social on Wednesday, August 27, from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

 

This is an opportunity for our 6th graders to get to know Kim McNeill, UPC's Staff Associate for Youth and Congregational Life, and to learn about Presbyterian Youth Connection (PYC). This will be a fun night together and will also serve as a reminder that they are called, claimed and loved by God and a community of faith. 

 

  

 

Click here to RSVP. We need a head count by Monday evening, August 25. If you have any questions, please email Kim McNeill or call her at (919) 929-2102. Be on the lookout for more information about the start of PYC on Sunday, September 14!

Capital Campaign Construction Update

This Sunday, worship will take place in the Fellowship Hall.

 

There have been a few changes to areas of the church that are off limits. The Henderson Street door and Campus Ministry wing are now open. However, the downstairs portion of the building is still off limits at this time, including the Youth Center, Garden Room, Nursery (new location-see below), classrooms, Fellowship Hall kitchen and the Stephen Ministry Room. Note we cannot use the Youth Center entrance or the entrance going directly on the playground. You may enter and exit the building at the parking lot door (and go up the stairs) or through the Henderson Street door. While worship is in the Fellowship Hall, the doors at the front of the Sanctuary cannot be used. For an accessible entrance, you may enter through a front side door of the church (near Vance Barron Hall) and take the elevator to the Fellowship Hall.

 

The nursery has moved to Vance Barron Hall. It will remain here throughout the next phase of construction.

 

Please note that while worship takes place in the Fellowship Hall, The IFC grocery cart, which is usually located in the narthex, will be located on The Landing. Items to be donated to the IFC can be left in the cart on Sundays. Or, you may take donations directly to the IFC Food Pantry at 110 W. Main Street in Carrboro. Thank you! 

  

As we strive to stay flexible and patient during construction, we're counting on our members to do so as well! Thank you! 

 

If you'd like to see how the construction is coming along, please click here to see pictures on the UPC Facebook page. Note you don't need to have a Facebook account to view the photos.  


 

Parking During Construction
During the week, we'll need to have parking spots set aside for the construction crew and their materials. All of the middle parking spaces in the Robertson Lane lot will be reserved Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

There will be a few visitor spots available next to the church building, but those will be the only non-reserved parking spots during construction. If you need to come to the church during the day, please plan to park in the parking deck at 150 East Rosemary St. or call in advance to see if there are any other spots available.


 

We look forward to worshiping with you!

 

Grace and Peace,
