Bill Hybels was in town this week and, as always, I learned much from him. (The Willow Creek Community Church, the church he founded, has recently been named one of the 10 most influential churches in the world over the past 100 years.) A question he asked I pass on to you: "What does God want our church to look like in 3-5 years?" What does our Lord have planned for Union? The leaders of Union would love to hear your answer to this question.
One thing I am sure all of you would say is that we want our children's ministry to continue to thrive. We are so grateful that Jacklien Lee has picked up just where Ting left off to shepherd our children and teachers. Please greet and pray and thank the Lord for Jacklien. Pastor Greg |
