Sunday we say goodbye to Pastor Matthew Fredericks.  It’s going to be a difficult goodbye for me.  He came here as an eligible bachelor and leaves the husband of Jolene. He came here as a rookie and leaves as a seasoned preacher and teacher.  We are all so much the better for his ministry. His trust, loyalty, and passion for Christ have made him a colleague who made a real difference in my life.

Following the 11:00AM service, there will be a reception for Matthew and Jolene.  Hope you can make it.  There will be a chance to make a donation to a scholarship fund as Matthew begins his graduate studies.  What a great investment that will pay great dividends!

Gratefully,
Pastor Greg

SPONSOR AN ITEM FOR THE NEW CHURCH AT SUNLIGHT TOWER!
Since the launch of the BUFF stewardship campaign at the end of April, we are truly grateful that 58 members for fundraising and 8 members for sponsorship have contributed approximate $4.4 million towards our target of raising $10 million for the fit out cost of Sunlight Tower and for professional costs incurred on this project.  Some members have provided feedback that they prefer to sponsor an item at Sunlight Tower so that their giving can be more targeted and directly connected to a tangible item. We have heard you and so on Sundays June 11, 18 and 25, there will be a BUFF Table in the foyer or on the green whereby members can view the proposed sponsorship items at Sunlight Tower. Please do visit the table after the service to see more of the design at Sunlight Tower and choose your favorite item to sponsor!

For those who would want to view the items for sponsorship online, please click here to see the items. If you decide to sponsor an item, please complete the Sponsorship Form to indicate what you want to sponsor and send the completed form and check to “BUFF Stewardship” at Union Church, 22A Kennedy Road, Hong Kong or bring the completed forms to deposit at church.
