Sabbatical/Mission Update
Toph will share a few things he learned on sabbatical and give us an update on UBC mission work.
Family Weekend Breakfast
Sunday is our annual family weekend breakfast. If your parents are in town visiting for the weekend, we would love to meet them. This is a chance to say: "look mom dad, I have already found a church. Aren't you proud of me?!" So, if you are student, being your parents to breakfast. Breakfast will at 9:30 on Sunday morning.
If you are not a student, we need your help. There will be a sign-up list in the foyer on Sunday with items we need: juice, milk, pigs n a blanket, fruit salad, yogurt, etc... We need you all to help provide the breakfast, so make sure to sign-up. If you have any questions please email
Backside
We are hosting the first of two Backside open mic/open wall events on Friday, September 23rd, at 7pm. If you are a musician, poet, storyteller, visual artist, etc., this is a night for you to share your gifts with the community. If you aren't a creative type, this is a night for you to engage the beauty that our congregation is creating. Also, there will be coffee and baked goods. So if you roast coffee or bake things, feel free to showcase those arts as well! If you have questions, or want to sign up, email jamie@ubcwaco.org.
CASA 5K
We don't normally advertise for outside organizations, but we're including this one. CASA, which stands for court appointed special advocate, is an organization that develops leaders to lobby for the welfare of foster children in our judicial system. They, the good people at CASA, are hosting an extravaganza that is laid out in the nifty picture below. Please consider going.
Slayers Converted to a loss by Missionary Baptists
The Slayers dropped a game to Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, 82-71, bringing their record to an even 1-1. Coach Toph Whisnant complimented the squad on a valiant effort, but was also forthright about their sloppy play. "We had some turnovers, we got to get better." Conditioning may also have been a concern, couple of the slayers, namely the older ones, looked like they needed an oxygen machines. AMB scored a number of points on fast breaks. Their blistering pace reminded some Paul Westmead's 89-90 Loyla Marymount squad.
Highlights for the Slayers included the defensive play of Justin Begnoche who is an early front runner for church league DPOTY. Shane Ward found his stroke early on lighting it up from 19.9 throughout the game and at one point hitting a critical 3 to bring the slayers within striking distance with a minute left. When asked about what would be done in practice this week Coach Whisnant said, "The guys are going to run this week. We might get beat again, but not because of conditioning. Except for Dimitri Peterson, he hustled."
The Slayers will be back in action next Thursday as they prepare for a stout Episcopal team. Their motto, "if the sacraments don't sanctify you, our game will."
