Dear Union Church Family!
Hallelujah, Advent is finally here!!! I don’t think I can remember a time when I’ve looked forward to Christmas more than I do this crazy year of 2020. Journeying with you through this unique season will be a delight and my heart is full and blessed. To further prepare your heart for this holy season, I invite you to join me in a daily Advent devotional called The Advent Project, produced by the Biola University Center for Christianity Culture and the Arts.

Love,
Billy
