U Matters

19 June is Father’s Day. We will celebrate it with a special present for dads and an after lunch father-child Martial Arts event with Mike Powers. As we think of our earthly fathers, we are grateful but sometimes ambivalent. But when it comes to our Heavenly Father, we can all agree that he will not let us down like our earthly parents. This week we will explore how Jesus is the way to the perfect and eternal God who loves us with a fatherly affection that will last for eternity.

Sunday 26 June will be the 8th anniversary of the U-Cafe. Please come and celebrate.

Thank you for your generous love gift to Lee-Ann McFarlane. Over HK$70,000 was raised !
