Due to the snow and ice, our worship service at Union had been canceled this morning, January 25.

The last couple weeks, we have been exploring what we can learn about talking to God through examining Daniel’s prayer life. Below are some materials you could use in your devotional time with God this morning along the same theme!

There is a storm a-brewing in Gastonia this weekend!! We encourage you to use common sense this Sunday. If you get up and there is snow and/or ice in the road or your driveway, please don't endanger yourself! Stay home!! Our church parking lot will also be covered in snow and ice and we don't want any slips or falls!

We will have church at 10AM Sunday, only if the roads are clear of ice and snow. Our one-call now phone and email system will be used Sunday morning to contact those on our list to cancel church if the roads have any ice or snow on them. Have a safe weekend!
