COMMUNITY SERVING ON SATURDAYS

The Saturday Servants outreach has been so

successful, both for the volunteers and the

recipients, that a new service has been launched. The S.S. has been going to homes of seniors and

the physically challenged to do small jobs. During

our brainstorming even last winter, other members

expressed interest in serving on Saturdays in

another capacity. So Community Serving on

Saturdays has been envisioned. This program will involve church

members and preschool families in“service” together. Each of these events will help

those beyond our local church and give preschool families the opportunity to participate. These

are the activities that are being planned. Please put

these dates on your calendar and plan to Serve on

Saturdays to make a difference around the world.

 Nov. 29– Box and wrap gifts for the Kingdom

House Christmas store and if needed, adopt a

family.

 Jan. 21/12– Inside Carnival to support Heifer

International

 Mar. 17/12– Decorate quilt squares and

pillowcases for sick children

 May 19– Toddler Toy and Clothing Exchange

Chancel Choir

Each Sunday the Chancel Choir, leads our choir in a variety of styles, arrangements and with special soloists, offering the ministry of music.

We are looking for additional members to join the choir who want to sing praises to the Lord! Please come to choir practice on Thursdays at 7:30. Give our choir director Lisa a chance to show your singing talents and how talented she is.

PRAYER MINISTRY

Concerns of church members and others are held up in prayer. Your privacy is assured. Contact the pastor by phone or email. 314-647-1228 or unionumcstl@sbcglobal.net

Prayer Team

The prayer team consists of anyone who would like to come pray for Union UMC and its ministries. For a half hour to and hour we pray as a group in various ways. Some times silently while walking through the church, sometimes as a group in a circle each sharing aloud in prayer as he/she is moved. Everyone who attends Union is welcome and encouraged to participate. Just show up. The meeting time is Wednesdays at 3:00 pm.

CARING CALLERS

Caring Callers are a special group of lay persons who each visit one or two homebound members on a regular basis. New caring callers are always welcome.

REACHING OUT

Our church is reaching out with worship services at Ollie Langhorst Senior

Apartment, 5800 Arsenal. We are having services every Sunday from

11:30 am - 12:00.pm Each Sunday we offer a different

service; on the first Sunday Pastor Dianne has a message and offers

Communion , the second Sunday Lisa, our Choir Director, offers a

musical service (residents choose what songs they like to

sing); third Sunday the Ladies’ Sunday School class has Bible Study

and some singing; and the fourth Sunday Carol H. has Bible Study and

songs. Luella, our church organist, will also be participating on the

fifth Sundays. Sometimes, a resident will volunteer to play the piano

for our services.. We would love to have some of our congregation

come to participate and get to know the residents. They have a lot to

share. We leave right after our service here at Union UMC. The Langhorst

Apartments are located at: 5800 Arsenal (2 blocks East of Hampton).
