U Matters - 05 Mar 2015

by Greg Anderson on March 05, 2015

"I don't seem to know most of the people I worship with at Union," or some variation on that theme, is something we hear on a regular basis. The growth that God has granted is great, but it means that some of us are not able to connect to each other the way we used to. How can we grow closer as we grow larger?

Plan to attend the "Connect and Transform" Family Retreat next weekend. Whether you can stay the whole time, or just join us for Saturday, there will be something for everyone.

Professor Jerry Root from Wheaton College is one of my favourite people on the planet. He will be speaking at the retreat. He will also give a lecture on C.S. Lewis (my favourite author on the planet) Wednesday night at 8:00PM at Union. The young adults have opened Oasis for everyone. Wednesday or the weekend, get to hear Jerry and he will help us connect with our Lord and with each other.

About the Author

Greg Anderson

Greg Anderson joined Union as Senior Pastor in January 2007. He has served churches in England and in the US and has taught at Wheaton College. He has degrees from Wheaton, Princeton Seminary, Yale University, and the University of Minnesota. Greg has been married to and besotted by Holly for 29 years. They have four children: Lindsey a chemical engineer in Boston, Andrew a banker in London, Jamie an actor in LA, and John a student at Hong Kong University. Greg has a passion for preaching, evangelism, teaching, church growth, and equipping people for ministry in the marketplace. He gets teased for quoting C S Lewis too often and having a staff so stunning that people wonder what there is left for him to do. He collects and even reads books, watches baseball on the internet, and thanks God daily for the opportunity to serve with such an amazing congregation.
