Welcome to Unity!
Celebration of Communion
This morning we celebrate the grace-filled sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. We remember the saving death of Jesus and we experience the grace of the Holy Spirit uniting us to Him and to one another. If you believe in Jesus as Lord and confess him as your Savior, you are invited to join us at the Table in Communion today.
Elder and Deacon Installation
We also celebrate God’s gift of leadership this morning through the installation of our new leaders. We give thanks for those who have completed their terms of ministry: Chad Hoekstra and Rick DeGrote as deacons and Lee Duininck as elder. We also welcome those who are beginning their service: Kevin Covert and Christina Vander Pol as deacons and Dave Groen as elder.
