Bible Series Talk and Discussion
'The Twin Peaks- Romans and Hebrews'
Theologians such as Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Barth, and Stott regard Romans as the clearest explanation of the Gospel, the Everest of Paul's writings, and the tinder of reformation. Hebrews is an appeal to endure. How? Who wrote the anonymous, mysterious letter 'to the Hebrews'? Does Romans 9 justify predestination? Join us, ask questions, and seek Christ in these epic epistles.

“A Galactic Christmas Adventure" Children's Musical - Save the Date: 11 December 2016
For this year's Christmas Musical, our children will have fun sharing the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, through a galactic adventure. The message of our Christmas Musical will be of “Hope”, which is in Christ Jesus. "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life,” John 3:16. It will be meaningful, family orientated and filled with lots of fun scenes for all to enjoy. We invite all children from ages 3-10 years old to join us and be a part of this magical time of the year. Let us share the great news of Jesus’s birth for all to hear.
We will start rehearsing for the Christmas Musical this Sunday, 6 November continuing to 10 December. During this period of time please bring your children directly to the Lower Annex.
If you would like to get involved by sharing with us your talents and time in costume making/sourcing, as group leaders, cast prompters, setting up the stage, or just helping us support and cheer for our children, please contact Children. We would love to hear from you and look forward to working with you to make this year's Christmas Musical a memorable event for all of us.
Prayer for Union Come lift up the needs of Union Church. Join us every Tuesday morning at 7:30AM for a time of prayer in the Sanctuary.
