January 22nd

Union Church Family,

As I was driving into work today, feeling a little overwhelmed by all the challenges of 2021, I heard this verse of “Amazing Grace” played on the radio. I want it to be tattooed on my mind and heart as I continue to wade into this New Year:

“The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.”

God has certainly been so very good to us at Union Church, even amidst this dreadful pandemic, and I look forward to walking through the wonders and woes of 2021 with you!

As I mentioned last week, please be in prayer for those who have lost loved ones recently. This plea includes both the Calhoun and Diclemente families especially. If you would like to join the virtual memorial service for Norm Diclemente this coming Sunday (1/24), simply visit thomas-littlefuneralservice.com and use Norm’s profile to join the livestream at 2pm. Our beloved former pastor, Mark Whitsel, will be officiating the service.

Finally, our sermon series in Ephesians continues this Sunday. The sermon is entitled “To Be Made Alive” based on Ephesians 1:15-2:10, and you should walk away wildly encouraged by life-transforming power of the Christian gospel.


See in you in worship,

Billy

P.S. By the way, I was asked to remind you that the nursery is now available during worship (infant thru age 3).

Women's Bible Study

Welcome, 2021, and all women of Union! Tuesday, January 26th at 12:30 in Fellowship Hall, we will be traveling with Paul on his 3rd missionary journey. Sure hope to see you then! We will be wearing masks and practicing social distancing.

Lenten Growth Group

Our Growth Group offering for the season of Lent and Easter will feature a video-based, 7-week study with acclaimed Bible teacher, Nancy Guthrie. We will read and study The Lamb of God: Seeing Jesus in Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy by Nancy Guthrie. Each week’s gathering will include a video of Nancy’s teaching on the topic, discussion of the topic and Nancy’s presentation, as well as time for fellowship, conversation, and prayer. We will offer two different times that you may register for participation: Sundays from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Union Church, or Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at Mt. Pisgah. The Sunday evening Growth Group will also include nursery care. Participants may join the study in-person in the sanctuary (safely distanced and masked), or via Zoom. We are asking those who are interested to register in advance so that we may adequately prepare the space, nursery coverage if needed, and order sufficient materials. The cost of the book is $10.00 (cash or checks payable to “Union Church” due at the start of the Growth Group). The deadline to sign-up is February 7th.

We hope that you will join us for this opportunity to enrich your faith, connect with others, and maybe meet someone new!

Wednesdays: February 10, 24, March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31

Sundays: February 14, 21, 28, March 7, 14, 21, 28
