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 […]
Admonish One Another
Nineteen years ago, my family was vacationing in Sun Valley, Idaho. On this very day, we went to the outdoor ice-skating rink which was open…even though it was 92 degrees.

And lined up. And walked to another room. And waited. And […]

Accept One Another
One of my great joys in life is that I get to live near my family. Every Sunday night, my parents, grandparents, and any of my sisters who are in town gather together for family dinner. We sit around and talk, laugh, and eat. It is such a special time. And we all always get […]
Forgive One Another | Chapel Hill Church Sermon | Gig Harbor, WA
Good morning, Chapel Hill! Last week we talked about our DNA value of “serving our neighbors.” It’s part of who we are. We have committed $600,000 annually in perpetuity to support causes “beyond these walls” so that we might love and serve our neighbors well. Thursday, I represented us at the grand opening of the […]
