U Matters - 02 Jun 2016

by Greg Anderson on June 02, 2016

Sunday is Youth Sunday! The youth group has more than doubled this year and the ministry for and with our young people is one of Union’s greatest gifts from God. You will be blessed by their ministry to us on Sunday

Special thanks to Brenna, her intern, John Anderson, Pastor Matthew and the adult volunteers and parents who make this ministry possible. They are joined this week by Antonin Ficatier.  Here is a brief bio of Union’s newest staff member. 

Born and raised in France, Antonin developed an interest in Chinese culture and language at an early age. His passion eventually led him to China, where he graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing with a degree in Economics. Back to France, Antonin did a Master in International Business and started his own business, Chinese Institute, today one of France’s leading training centers dedicated to teaching Chinese. A few years later, Antonin felt called to ministry, did a BA in Theology from Paris Seminary, left his company, and decided to go to the States, where he just completed a Master of Arts in Christian Education from Princeton Seminary. 

Antonin is passionate about working with youth and has been a scout leader for almost 10 years. He loves travelling, playing soccer, and drinking Coke. This August, Antonin is going to marry Jessica Docherty when she will leave her work in London to join him in Hong Kong. 

As we say hello to Antonin, we are preparing to say goodbye to Lee-Ann. There will be a special love offering taking for her this Sunday.
