New Banners
We have received a donation from the Kiwanis in appreciation for serving meals for their meetings twice a year. This money has been used to purchase new banners in the sanctuary.
“Faithful Month by Month”
In June we will complete our three-year challenge to pay off $300,000 of our building mortgage. This will allow us to re-negotiate our loan to obtain lower monthly loan payments. We are currently about $105,000 short. Please continue your support to help us meet this goal.
World of the New Testament
In February we will continue a series of sermons that compares the way that we Americans understand life with the way it is portrayed in the New Testament. How are they similar and different? This month we will reflect on our understanding of the world and of time.
Pulpit Exchange
On February 5, Old Union will participate in a “round robin” pulpit exchange with St. John Lutheran Church and Valencia Presbyterian Church, as an expression of our unity in Christ. Come to hear a fresh perspective on God’s word.
Annual Spaghetti Dinner
Old Union’s youth group will hold its annual spaghetti dinner fund-raiser on Saturday, February 18, 4:00-7:00. The money they raise at this event will help to cover the costs of their service and social activities for the next year. Please support our youth by donating supplies, buying tickets, and inviting your friends!
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner
Join your Old Union family for an evening of good food, conversation, and a devotional time to begin the season of Lent. Our traditional Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner will be held on February 21, beginning at 6:30. If you would like to help prepare or serve the meal, please speak with Bill H.
Community Lenten Devotional Series
The Mars Area Ministerium will hold a Lenten Devotional Series, to be hosted by LAS St. John. We will meet each Friday of Lent, beginning February 24, 12:30-1:00 PM, in the chapel of St. John. The cafeteria will be open for anyone who would like to share a meal before the devotions. The theme for the devotional series will be Jesus' "I Am" Statements from the Gospel of John. Each thirty minute devotion will include music, prayer, and a brief message by one of our community's pastors.
