Greetings Friends!


So, a question for you...has your week been different from the last 52+ weeks, having just celebrated Easter? My guess is that your answer is “well...not really.” That is understandable. I ran into one of our Union Church Family members at Heinz Field this morning as we were both receiving our second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. It was great to catch up with him and hear about his family. This past Sunday of resurrection celebration didn’t change the daily challenges for his young family, his work, etc. Nonetheless, we may still affirm with confidence that Jesus’ resurrection changes everything. Whether it is the renewed hope of a new creation, or the simple reminder that God’s love, power and grace is stronger than all the challenges we face in this life, Jesus’ resurrection makes all the difference!
It is worth being reminded that the resurrection changes everything for the collective identity of the Lord’s people as well. Who we are as the church of Jesus Christ, and what we are about - the reason for the church’s existence is absolutely determined by Jesus’ resurrection. In fact, Jesus, in his post-resurrection appearances provides clear instruction for his disciples. He gives his disciples, and all generations to follow (the church, the body of Christ), marching orders for our share in the Mission of God.
Join us this Sunday in worship, as we take a close look at the continuation of Luke’s story of the resurrection of Jesus (Luke 24:36-49). We’ll dive into this passage with the question, “Why the Church?” in mind. I’ll share this much of my message now: the truth of the resurrection, which lays at the heart of who we are as the church, carries the everyday significance that makes a difference for you and me, no matter our circumstances. It is the event that changes everything, even when appearances suggest otherwise. That is our message of encouragement to each other, and the good news that we proclaim to the world. See you Sunday at 11 a.m. in person or via Live Stream.


Peace,Tom

Meatballs and Missions

Following the outdoor service on May 23rd: The rolling meatballs Food Truck will make a return appearance, and the Union Church missions team will host a Chance Auction to Benefit the Mission Fund. The missions team is seeking donations for the chance auction. Please let us know if your family or your business can donate a basket or items for this chance auction. This chance auction will replace the annual Chili Cook-Off with a plan for it to return in 2022.

Food Pantry Donations Needed

The Deacons are accepting non-perishable grocery items for the monthly food pantry. We need spaghetti sauces, cake mixes, icing, canned fruit and vegetables as well as chili ingredients. We do accept all food donations. Additionally, paper products, cleaning supplies, health and beauty items will be accepted. Please put all donations in the donation boxes in Fellowship Hall. Thank you for your support!
Union and 412 Rescue

Currently a 412 volunteer delivers produce every Sunday between 10-12 that needs to be unpacked and separated into bags to be used before it spoils. We have offered this additional service to our present Food Pantry clients as a supplement to our monthly boxes. What food we have left we encourage our members to take to share with family, friends and neighbors who are food insecure. Anyone wishing to help with delivery and bagging is welcome to help. Please contact one of your deacons to volunteer!
