If you cannot read this, please Bravo to the choir for their "Sing with the Angels" Cantata last Sunday. Many have asked for the angel quote. Here it is: THE SINGING OF ANGELS "There must be always remaining in every man's life some place for the singing of angels -- some place for that which in itself is breathlessly beautiful and by an inherent prerogative, throwing all the rest of life into a new and creative relatedness -- something that gathers up in itself all the freshest of experience from drab and commonplace areas of living and glows in one bright light of penetrating beauty and meaning -- then passes. The commonplace is shot through with new glory -- old burdens become lighter, deep and ancient wounds lose much of their old, old hurting. A crown is placed over our heads that for the rest of our lives we are trying to grow tall enough to wear. Despite all the crassness of life, despite all the hardness of life, despite all of the harsh discords of life, life is saved by the singing of angels." Howard Thurman |

Thank you to everyone who donated toys and clothes for the elderly, the homeless and vulnerable children in the Yau Ma Tei area. We are truly blessed by the generosity of everyone involved. The van collected the numerous bags and boxes this week. Please note: As Union has limited storage space, we are unable to accept any other items for now. Please look out for future opportunities to donate. GIVING CHRISTMAS TO OTHERS We have another wonderful way to give back to our neighbours this Christmas! Fuk Lam is a local church and community centre situated on Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei that serves many homeless individuals, sub-divided unit tenants, elderly who live alone or are abandoned by their families, and children and youth from low income families around the Yau Ma Tei area. On the 21 December, Fuk Lam will be holding a Christmas Celebration. We can get involved! |
