U Matters - 28 Dec 2017

by Greg Anderson on December 28, 2017

2017 has been an eventful year of change and transition for Union. It was the proverbial best of times, worst of times—at times.

The faith and resilience of Union’s people have been an inspiration to me. We have a growing group of people who never worshiped at 22A Kennedy Road who are thrilled with our sparkling new facilities. Those of us who were used to more space are struggling to fit into the new reality. I particularly commend my colleagues in Children’s Ministry, Youth, and Worship.

We continue to look for a longer-term solution to our crowding. The 8:45 and 5:15 services have already attracted quite a following.

We encourage you to try one of them. On 10 January we begin a mid-week service: "Recharge.” It will have a focus on professionals but also offer a unique worship opportunity for everyone.

May God bless and continue to guide you as we wind down 2017 and begin a new year. Philippians 1:6 continues to encourage me: “I am confident that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion on the day of Christ Jesus."

Gratefully
Pastor Greg
