La Mesa

La Mesa is Sunday at 11am in the Assembly Hall, except on mornings where bilingual services are held in the Sanctuary.

La Mesa is a multicultural and bilingual (Spanish and English) worship service of United Church of Chapel Hill. Thanks to consecutive interpretation services and bilingual worship bulletins, anyone who knows English or Spanish can fully participate in worship. Through scripture readings, sermons, prayers, communion, and songs led by the La Mesa Choir, the La Mesa worship experience centers on God’s grace, justice, hope, and love. One distinctive characteristic of worship in La Mesa is the question time that follows the sermon. The preacher poses a question and encourages introspection in a testimonial style in response to the sermon or biblical passage. Through the spiritual practice of telling and listening to stories, we experience each other’s humanity with more compassion and witness how God is always present in our lives. God’s table is our refuge and sacred gathering place where all are welcome.
