In the United Church of Christ, we like to say, “God is still speaking.” At Union, classes, events and programs are happening all the time. Here we cover the latest: - Come see the heart-warming, Oscar-winning movie Up! in our Fellowship Hall on Friday, March 19, 6:30 p.m. All ages are welcome. Bring blankets, sleeping bags, pillows—and your friends, of course. Popcorn and juice provided.
- Lent: As is Union's custom, a freewill-donation supper and worship or a program will be offered each Wednesday evening during Lent, Feb. 17 to March 24. Supper is served at 5:45 p.m. and a worship service or program follows from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m. Please sign up for supper on the poster in the Narthex for any or all Wednesdays you plan to attend. Knowing how many are coming helps up prepare the right number of dinners. Thanks!
- F.E.A.S.T. (Faith Exploration and Spirituality Today) Adult Education invites you to attend DreamThinkBeDo, on Sundays, Feb. 21 to March 18, 8:30-9:30 a.m. This engaging new series on progressive Christianity features the insights of 25-plus theologians and teachers. Come get into conversation among young adults and the "young at heart." See you in the library!
- In March, Union's loose-change offering will be donated to STEP, the St. Louis Park Emergency Program, a community-wide resource serving the basic needs of more than 1,600 people each month. Bonus: Our March donation and our annual contribution to STEP will be matched! So empty those piggy banks and dig in between those couch cushions: Let's make our offering plates jingle!
- Join a Union BWCAW canoe trip this summer! Our fearless leader, Rachel Shoger, is offering three trips—a women's trip, mixed-company trip and a cabin trip. Deposits of $75/reservations are being accepted. Trips are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- You're invited to a special performance of Requiem and Cantique de Jean Racine by Gabriel Fauré performed by the Senior Choir of Union Congregational Choir and guests on Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010, 2 p.m. Choir director Art Clyde will conduct; Peggy Johnson will accompany at the organ. Tickets are not required. A free-will offering will be taken.
- Union has initiated a weekly email newsletter. If your household has more than one email address, please email the church office at info@unionslp.com to let us know which email addresses you'd like used. Also, please notify the office of any changes to your address or phone number so that we may update the church directory. If you'd like your email address included in the directory, please email the office to grant us permission to publish your email address.
- Scholarships to Pilgrim Point are available. Union faithfully funds Pilgrim Point with financial contributions and camp scholarships. Look for the Pilgrim Point display in the Fellowship Hall. For more information, contact Brenda Clarno.
