We have been so blessed by the ministry of our UNC Wesley intern, Madeline Chandler! She teaches Sunday school and helps plan and lead U-Crew and Youth Leadership Team! She is graduating in May and going on to continue her education at Emory University! Madeline says, "Over my time at UNC, I’ve become fascinated by the intersection of public health and religion. At Emory, I have the amazing opportunity to pursue a dual degree program, earning a masters of public health in epidemiology and a masters of divinity!"
We are collecting a love offering to send Madeline off and thank her for her ministry! Please contribute to this by clicking here and selecting "Love Gift - Madeline Chandler" by May 15.
Get Paid for Helping At Church?!

It’s not too good to be true! The Kindred campus of University UMC is looking to hire a Set Up Assistant to help them set up for worship on Sunday mornings and clean up afterward. Kindred worships inside of AMC Classic 15 movie theater in Durham. The Set Up Assistant will work 8am-12pm each Sunday for $15/hour and will be free to worship with Kindred during their shift at the 10am service (or go hang out by yourself in an empty theater, if that’s your thing). To qualify, candidates must: be available consistently on Sunday mornings, be able to show up on time for their shift, be willing to learn a bit about A/V equipment set up, be able to lift and move A/V equipment, and have a positive attitude. Interested? Reach out to Pastor Daniel, dchilds@universityumc.church.
