Last Sunday was Triple A: Advent, St. Andrew's--my ears are still ringing from the bagpipes--and Alpha. What a joy it is to celebrate the coming of Christ with the congregation.

This Sunday the Chancel Choir (with orchestra), will present "Canticles in Candlelight" at 9:30AM and 11AM. Forrest Morr and the choir have made their annual cantata an act of worship to God and a service to Union. Please come and bring your friends. We will celebrate communion and have a sermon at 8:30AM, U Cafe, and 5PM.

There is still time for you to buy a ticket to the Christmas Banquet this Friday (call Brenna at  +852 94475950 or email brenna.dykman@unionchurchhk.org). She said you can also show up at the door. The auction items are the best ever and all proceeds go to our youth ministry mission trips
