U Matters - 27 Nov 2014

by Greg Anderson on November 27, 2014

Welcome to Advent! As we prepare our hearts to celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ at Christmas, please join us and a number of others in the prayer challenge. We are committing ourselves to spend as much time praying as we usually do worrying and fretting.

Union is a church with a Scottish heritage. This Sunday at the 9:30 service we honour our tradition as we celebrate St. Andrew's Sunday. There will be bagpipes, there will be kilts, and we will learn about James Legge, the founding pastor of Union.

We are wrapping up the stewardship drive and thrilled with the preliminary results. A large number of you are pledging for the first time. Thank you!

About the Author

Greg Anderson

Greg Anderson joined Union as Senior Pastor in January 2007. He has served churches in England and in the US and has taught at Wheaton College. He has degrees from Wheaton, Princeton Seminary, Yale University, and the University of Minnesota. Greg has been married to and besotted by Holly for 29 years. They have four children: Lindsey a chemical engineer in Boston, Andrew a banker in London, Jamie an actor in LA, and John a student at Hong Kong University. Greg has a passion for preaching, evangelism, teaching, church growth, and equipping people for ministry in the marketplace. He gets teased for quoting C S Lewis too often and having a staff so stunning that people wonder what there is left for him to do. He collects and even reads books, watches baseball on the internet, and thanks God daily for the opportunity to serve with such an amazing congregation.
