U Matters - 06 July 2017

by Greg Anderson on July 06, 2017

Who is the best friend you ever had? This summer I have been reading Exodus in preparation for our “exodus.” In Exodus 33:11 we read that “the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.” In James 2:23 we read that Abraham “was called a friend of God.” Wow! “The best friend I’ve ever had is God” is something I we would all like to say. But how do we cultivate that relationship? Let’s learn together as we struggle with the 4th chapter of James.

There will be a “Left Behind” BBQ Sunday at 12:00NN. If you have been abandoned by friends and family we invite you to find new friends and family at Union. Meat will be provided but side dishes and desserts are more than welcome. 5:00PM service, there will not be BBQ following our service but I invite you to join me at St. John’s Cathedral for a tea reception at 6:15PM.
