U Matters

This Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day, with men teaching all the Sunday school classes so that the women can worship. Thank you guys! Last week I toured some of the Sunday school classes. Trust me, our men teachers are in for a fantastic experience.

I am so grateful for the prayers and support of Union as I grieve the loss of my mother. She had a passion for God’s Word and was thrilled to hear that so many of you are reading through the Bible this year. On her deathbed, my father read her chapter after chapter of the Bible. What a joy it is to hear and be shaped by God’s Word, week after week, as we worship together.

Please pray for Pastor Matthew as he marries Jolene, Saturday in Singapore.

This Week

MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH!

Enjoy a festive Mother's Day Brunch on the Union Church Green after the  8:30AM and 9:30AM services. Time to give MOM a super BIG HUG and thank God for giving you such a GREAT MOM. I asked my son, Mark, if he thought I was a "GREAT MOM". He said, "Yes!". I asked him, "Why?". Mark said, "Because God made you that way, Mommy." God has made so many wonderful MOMs, so let's thank God for all of them! See you all at the brunch! Blessings from Danielle and the Bradsher Family (who are hosting the brunches).
