The Prayerful Pause - April 19

This week, I want to encourage you to take some time to pray for the work of the various Committees and Service Teams we have here at Union! Our Committees and Service Teams share their time and talents with great love, and we are thankful for the seen and unseen ways that God is using them.
 
Please ask God to give each group the wisdom and resources needed to do the work God has given them as part of our life and ministry together. Additionally, if you ever have any questions about these groups or how you can plug in, please contact the chairperson, team leader, or myself for more information. A full list of all the people who serve on these Committees and Services Teams is maintained in the Church Office.
 
Thank you for praying for the work of Union's Committees and Service Teams! I love serving and praying as part of the Body of Christ with you!
