Numbers. Whether we are counting COVID cases locally or abroad, ballots in the US election, or the number of floors constructed at 22A Kennedy Rd -numbers seem to be on our radar. We have completed the 5th Sunday of in-person worship and we have some exciting numbers to report from Union Church this week.
We had:
- 66 children at the Hallelujah Party on Saturday & many children invited their friends
- Full house at 9:45, 11:15 and U-Café for Sunday worship (space at 8:45)
- 6 couples at the Young Married lunch -who want to meet monthly
- 85 ladies at the ‘Get to Gather’ on Monday night plus 10 ladies on Zoom
- 3 New Recharge Classes -youth, young adults and adults
Additionally, it has been encouraging to hear that people are connecting with us regularly from all over the world. We have people worshipping with us on Sundays and joining us weekly for Alpha, Prayer, Ladies ‘Get to Gather’ and Small Groups from the United States, UK, Portugal, and Scotland.
Interestingly however, the Apostle Paul reminds us of the most important number -ONE. Because of Jesus -we are ONE -“so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.” Romans 12:5 I am grateful that we can remain connected and we can reach out to one another around the world -unified in purpose and love.
May we continue to reflect our “oneness.”
This Sunday we will continue with our By Faith -stewardship series and we hope you will join us.
Blessings, Pastor Michele
