U Matters“Dear Lord, change me and use me. Change and use Union Church.” That prayer, which many of us have promised to pray for forty-five days, is already changing lives. If you haven’t started this spiritual adventure, please do. One woman warned me that this is a very dangerous prayer. It is. But what an opportunity to see God's work in our lives and our church. Gratefully

This WeekSunday School Resume
Our regular Sunday School has resumed at both the 9:45AM & 11:15AM. Parents please take note of the changes that have taken place. Children are to gather in the Fellowship Hall for Kids Worship Time for the first 15 minutes and then proceed to the classrooms accompanied by their Sunday School teachers. Children ages 3 to 9 years old are to be picked up from their respective classrooms and the 10 years old will be dismissed at the end of the respective service times. Kindly pick up a Sunday School leaflet by the Welcome Table or visit Union Church website for the latest classrooms arrangement. We greatly appreciate your patience and kind understanding as we go through these changes. Thank you. Kids Worship Time This is a wonderful opportunity for children to praise and worship God with lively Sunday School songs before they start their Sunday School lesson. We welcome parents who would like to join their children for the first 15 minutes from the start of the church service time for worship in the Fellowship Hall. We would also ask for our church congregants kind understanding and cooperation to please walk around the area and not through the children as you access to the sanctuary or when visiting the restroom. Thank you for your help in making this Kids Worship Time that much more meaningful to the little member of our church.

EducationThe Book of Revelation, Sunday, 4 February 2018, 12:30PM to 2:00PM
Our own Chris Fung discusses his newly published book, The Lord of the Sabbath Opens His Book of Revelation. Revelation concludes the Bible. Yet many are baffled by its exotic symbols and seemingly disjointed descriptions. This talk will explore how a careful non-technical reading with Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath, at its centre would unlock the mysteries of Revelation to reveal a clear storyline that encompasses God's entire creation. RSVP to Small GroupLooking for a small group? There are some great options available. Women, Intergenerational, Men - check out the brochure. For more information, please contact Monte Peterson.
