Directory Of Parish Ministries

August 2006

Mission Statement

The Chapel of the Cross, historically linked to the University of North Carolina and the Town of Chapel Hill, bears faithful witness to the presence of the living God on the campus, in the community, in the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, and throughout all the world. We are called to:

and to do all with truly thankful hearts in the name of Jesus.


From the Rector

Dear Friends,

The purpose of this Directory of Parish Ministries is twofold. The first is as a resource for newcomers. These pages present a comprehensive listing of all the various ministries and programs at the Chapel of the Cross, organized according to the different facets of our parish mission statement and alphabetized within those categories. By offering a brief description and contact information for each, we hope to make it easier for those of you just joining our parish to become a part of its ministries. We welcome your participation! The pictures and job descriptions of the staff and vestry will also be helpful in making connections and finding a place here.

The second purpose of this directory is to give all parishioners a sense of the scope and breadth of the parish's ministry and to facilitate involvement and cooperative ministry by everyone. The information here can help all of us to become involved and to integrate many particular efforts into one communal service of God and neighbor.

Thanks to all of you who "staff" these various groups and programs, and thanks be to God for your commitment and gifts which help all of us to love and serve the Lord.

Faithfully,

† Stephen Elkins-Williams
