Last Saturday boatloads of children--and their parents-- enjoyed the Hallelujah Party. Thanks to Ting Guevarra-Small and her 42 volunteers who provided an example of Union at its best. I recently talked to a person who came to Union at a very troubled time in the church's history but still met Jesus Christ. At its best or at its worst, Union is place where people can find Jesus and grow in their faith. We hope that you will take time not only to read the announcements that follow, but also to find just the right place for you to serve and grow with God's family at Union. Pastor Greg |
