Sundays are my favorite day of the week, and I am especially looking forward to this coming Sunday at Union!
It’s the Sunday after Veterans Day, and we will recognize and pray for our Veterans during morning worship. We will also have a slideshow of their pictures playing before and after worship. Union has done two other things to honor our Veterans this week. We’ve placed our Veterans Day banner out front and posted flags on the graves of the 40 Veterans buried in Union's cemetery. On Sunday, please take a moment to offer a personal word of thanks to our Veterans while also thanking God for their service and sacrifice.
This Sunday, we will also welcome Union's former pastor, Rev. Troy Tatum, and his family, Leigh Ann, Luke, and Riley, back home to Union. Troy will preach and sing in worship on Sunday morning. It will be a special service for their family and for the Union family, too. After worship this Sunday, we will have a covered dish luncheon in honor of the Tatum family, and we invite you to bring a covered dish or two to share. Please take a moment to pause and pray for the Tatum family this week. Ask God to encourage them and surround them with a deep sense of love and care.
Sunday is also the day to bring your Thanksgiving boxes to share with families in need. You can drop these off in the basement anytime this week or on Sunday before worship. Volunteers will be in the basement to help you unload your box if needed from 9:45-10:45 on Sunday morning. Please take a moment to pray for the families who will receive the food boxes and turkeys this Thanksgiving.
