U Matters |

This week Pastor Matthew and I had a farewell lunch with a Union family moving from Hong Kong after three years. I was sad, they were very sad, and Matthew was very, very, sad. Matthew mentioned that now that he has been here two years it is harder to say goodbye. Since this is my 19th year of international church ministry, I wished I could tell him it gets easier to say goodbye. That would have been a lie. It stays hard to bid farewell to friends with whom you have gone on mission trips, prayed with and for, and who have brought so much inspiration into your life.

Summer Reflection Series: Church
You are invited to a four-part series of talk and discussion on "church." Willem Jan de Hek, an architect and urban planner for CITIC Capital Real Estate, will begin the series with a reflection on "Church: What?" Is it a building? A worship style? A set of beliefs? Willem Jan holds his architecture degree from Delft University of Technology and has been a part-time student of Theology since 2012. He is a member of Union Church and is involved in the design process of Building Union For the Future. Come and join us on 8 July (Tuesday) at the Fellowship Hall, 7:00PM to 8:30PM.
