Learn more about the church next week! Come One, Come All! Each fourth Sunday of the month anyone wanting to know more about Union Church or wanting to explore church membership, are invited to come to the Classroom, past the office at the end of the hall, and join in conversation with the Community Life and Growth Board after worship.
Saturday: Nov. 23 Celebration of Giving, 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. At Acton Folk Center. (Previously known as Alternative Christmas Market). Local non-profits can reserve a table by contacting: cheyenne @sustainable berea.org. Instead of another sweater or tie, give a donation to your favorite non-profit in your loved one’s name. Union Church organizations (e.g. Youth Group) can reserve a table for no charge, as we are one of the sponsors of the event. If you would like to volunteer, contact Tennant Kirk or Betty Hibler.
The Mission & Service Board is calling all cookie bakers to help us fill a table of cookies at the “Celebration of Giving!” These can be Christmas cookies or any favorite cookies of yours. These cookies will be for sale to help offset the expenses for the M&S Board for the rental of the Folk Center. Pleas e-mail Betty Hibler at betty_hibler@berea.edu or leave a message at 859-940-8735. Many thanks from the M&S Board.

Changes to your Directory Info Now that Rev. Kent is back among us, we’ll need to update him on changes in our congregation. We’ll be printing a new Directory in earliest December. If you’ve got a new family photo we’d love to use it. We also plan to move to a texting system of reminders, so make sure we’ve got your cell phone number too! Other changes welcome as well, of course.
If you haven’t made any changes, no action is necessary. Thank you! Email changes & new photos to the office at office@union-church.org
