U Matters - 25 Jun 2015

by Greg Anderson on June 25, 2015

This week I reunited with a wise friend who is a retired senior banker. He was part of the church I served in England and was a member of Union for several years. One of his friends had just died, with articles and obituaries in all the financial papers. I asked my friend what his friend was really like. "He was all about relationships."

What a great way to be remembered. Christianity is all about a relationship with Christ. But sometimes in the hustle and bustle of a lively church, we forget it is all about relationships. We are so thankful for the chance to share life and ministry with you. May our wonderful programs continue to thrive. But this year, let's put our priority on the relationship we have with Jesus and with each other.

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.
