U Matters

We all worry. Psychologists claim that only 8% of what we worry about is "legitimate anxiety." This week we will struggle with Paul's command in Philippians 4:6: "Don't worry about anything." Let's worship as well as worry together this week!

This week we mourn the loss of Union’s oldest attendee, the famous reporter Clare Hollingworth, who died at the age of 105.

Sunday we celebrate the 101st birthday of Aunty Pauline. Be sure to congratulate her if you attend the 9:30 service.

The End of the Bible: Happy Ever After?
Dragons, mythical creatures, monsters, and wizards! Harry Potter? No, it is the final book of the Bible!  Learn why we should stop listening to end time predictions, why John's Apocalypse is an unparalleled exaltation of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and why Christ (not North Korea, modern Israel, Google, or nuclear weapons) is the interpretative key to this gory doomsday landscape.

5:00PM Sermon Series ‘Amos: a prophet for the People’
29 January, 5, 12, 19 and 26 February

Join us for a 5 week sermon series on the minor prophet Amos who gave major challenges to God’s people.
