Can’t think of a week where I have enjoyed meeting so many new people. The Men’s Fellowship Dinner, Newcomers Lunch, Alpha Dinner, and Sunday services have provided some opportunities to meet some wonderful people. As we get to know each other, I hope we can learn from each other. There is individual spiritual growth, and there is church spiritual growth. How can we learn from each other as we seek to follow our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? I am all ears.
Union supports the Hong Kong Church Network for the Poor (HKCNP) by supporting their 10/10/10 initiative. The goal is to have each church, in October (10), spend ten minutes (10) talking about poverty in HK and then taking an offering where each member gives at least ten dollars (10). Thank you for your generosity, Union is usually one of the largest donors to this offering.
But this year we want you to take it one step forward. This Sunday we will pass out the “Simple Living Handbook.” Please take it and read it. I dare you to join me in trying to join “One Week Simple Living” challenge. It will be tough but it could transform our lives.
This week we also will commission the various mission trips going out from Union in October and early November. Let’s be praying for our church, our outreach home and abroad, as we learn to simply follow Christ together.
