U Matters - 29 May 2014

by Greg Anderson on May 29, 2014

Youth ministry attendance is up 251% over last year. Ryan and Brenna are quick to blame God and their lay volunteers for the growth. I praise God for this growth and thank our youth directors for a job well done!

Sunday we bid farewell to Ryan. As Jesus would say, “Well done. Good and faithful servant.” As he leaves us for Alaska, please consider making a cash gift in the Ryan Box and join in the reception for Ryan following the 11:00AM service.

Prof. Nicholas Perrin, Franklin S. Dyrness Professor of Biblical Studies and Dean of the Wheaton Graduate School, will be preaching at 9:30AM and 11AM. At 5PM he will present a Legge Lecture; “From Stories to Scripture: When Did the Gospels Become Authoritative?” I am thrilled to welcome an old friend who will open up the New Testament to us in a very special way.

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.
