As I conclude my pastoral ministry at Union, I would like to share sermons with you during June and July on the elements of faith which I feel are most important – they are the “First Things.” Before leaving, I would like to share with you what I think matters most in our lives of faith. Moving through the scriptures, I invite you to take a journey of faith with me from the beginning to the end. —Pastor Jane
