The 5PM services are where the action is, especially over the next two weeks! This Sunday, Dr David Miller is speaking at the 5PM service. According to Pastor Greg, "He is the go-to guy in relating faith to the marketplace. He is a former investment banker who was first at Yale and now at Princeton University. He has done some amazing things." Additionally, he will be giving a seminar on Work and Calling this Saturday, 30 Apr 10:00AM-12:30PM. See below for details. On Sunday 15 May, the Vicar of Baghdad, Canon Andrew White will be speaking at 5PM. If that is not exciting enough, immediately following the service, Union Church is hosting a fundraising dinner at the LRC at 6:30PM:. Limited tickets are available at HKD800. Funds will go towards building a school for Iraqi refugee children in Jordan. If interested, please see Lee-Ann or Pastor Michele at the Table on the Green. We are excited to be a part of this work.
