Ministry Updates



Last weekend, October 29 – 30, Pastor and Mrs. Dickerson accompanied the youth of Union Zion to Cheatham Annex in Williamsburg, VA for their annual youth retreat.

On Sunday morning October 31st the youth, although a little tired, served for the Gloucester Union Relief Association’s last 5th Sunday of the year service. Union Zion’s youth participated along with other youths from 14 other member churches. Pastor Dickerson serves as president of GURA and gave his anniversary address with a sermon entitled “Crazy Praise”.

Church anniversary will be on Sunday, Nov. 7, 2010. Pastor Dickerson will be preaching in the morning and music will be done by the senior choir. In the afternoon at 3:30 PM, Pastor Paul Pleasants and Calvary Baptist Church of Saluda Virginia will be the special guest. This is the 143rd anniversary celebration.

On the third Sunday, Nov. 21st during the 11 AM service, Union Zion will observe Rev. and Mrs. William E. Upshur Day. Pastor Upshur served Union Zion for 23 years and each 3rd Sunday in November Union Zion honors Pastor Upshur and his wife, Betsy, with a special day and dinner. Family members and friends come along with them to help honor them.
