Who do you say I am?
Most of our leadership team still smiling after five hours of serving students, their families, and the university during move-in.
 It is a great pleasure to minister alongside such committed Christ followers at UNC. They give up breaks, study times, even a simple stroll across campus, to minister to those around them.
    They are kind, humble, loving, seekers of the truth. And as such they are bright lights of the gospel in a spiritually dark place.
     Thank you for lifting us all up in your prayers, giving, and friendship. We have seen 30% growth numerically this semester; but more importantly we have seen great spiritual growth and opportunity to answer the question of “who is Jesus?” Rest assured, we are endeavoring to see Christ revealed and known across Chapel Hill.
Pre-K, football, cousins and all things boys 
First day of school! (pre-K)

      It’s Fall in the Newell household. And that means football. Josiah and the Mighty Eagles have had a great season thus far. Si plays linebacker, punter, and wherever else he is needed. Hard to believe he turns 10 years old this November. He has continued to excel at school, especially in math.   Yes, it’s official! Elijah has started school. He is in the pre-K class at Fayetteville Elementary and absolutely loves it. He even teased Josiah (who was home on break) that he had to stay home while Elijah got to go to school. His favorite thing? Snack of course.

Meeting Travelers On The Road Less Journeyed
 From helping freshmen to move in, Fall Fest, and meeting students in the Pit by the student union, Chi Alphans have challenged themselves and others to choose God’s Road Less Traveled. We’ve been exploring who God is, who we are, and who we are with Christ. One of our seniors, who is new to XA, says this is the fellowship she has been wanting for over three years at UNC.
