U Matters - 01 June 2017

by Greg Anderson on June 01, 2017

Wow! It’s June. This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost Sunday, Communion, and a number of baptisms.

We also celebrate the last Men’s Gathering of the year with Matthew on Saturday.

Sunday night Dr. Lauren Pfister gave a magisterial lecture on James Legge and the history of
Union Church. If you missed it, you can listen to it on the webpage or your Union App. I found it especially interesting that there have been five church buildings in three locations since Union was founded in 1844.

As we prepare to celebrate the last service in our current sanctuary in August, think about
how we can “finish well.” There have been so many people who met Jesus in our current facility, so many weddings, funerals, and services. We thank God as we turn the page of this chapter and prepare for the next.
