U Matters

Sunday is Confirmation Sunday. The growth and vitality of Union's youth ministry has been an answer to prayer. The nine young people being confirmed and the six being baptised are the ROI or fruit -- depending you want to go business or biblical.

Praise God for Brenna Dykman, the mastermind of our youth ministry. Thanks to Pastor Matthew and the nine adult mentors of the confirmation students. Parents, thank you for your support all along the way. And thank you confirmation class for leading our worship services on this very special day.

What a joy it is to watch young people confirm their faith in Jesus Christ.

Oasis - Does Prayer Make a Difference?

Wed, 10 Jun, 8:00PM (Refreshments at 7:30PM)

Wade Wollin is the Spiritual Formation Pastor at Community Church, Hong Kong. If we believe prayer does make a difference, then why don’t we pray more often? Wade will look at two common traps that can trip us up in our prayer life and keep us from experiencing a flourishing relationship with Christ.
