Tuesday the Union staff spent the day at Disneyland. It's always good to get away and great to spend time with colleagues outside of the normal workplace. Even now we are sharing stories (and compromising pictures). The time together has brought us closer. Pastor Greg |

The James Legge Christmas Musical - Save the date: 14 December This year our children will be performing a very special Christmas Musical: The James Legge Christmas Musical. Who, you may ask, was James Legge? He was a famous Christian missionary and scholar in the mid-1800s. He also became the first professor of Chinese at Oxford University. More importantly, Reverend James Legge was Union Church's first pastor and the founder of our church in 1844. In this year's Christmas Musical, we have the privilege of having Reverend Legge as our narrator to tell us the joyous message of the birth of Jesus and share with us some wonderful stories in the history of Union Church. We look forward to making this year's Christmas musical a truly historic and memorable performance for all families and friends of Union Church. |
