Does Kiki really love UBC? - come to the fiesta to find out
Pentecost
Fall 2018 - Community
At UBC we take the phrase "mi casa es su casa" seriously. We know one of the best ways to develop meaningful connections is through small groups. Below you will find the groups/retreats we have for this semester.
From Mi Casas to Ladies’ Nights to Pub Group, as well as smaller discipleship groups, Bible Studies and Book Studies, we seek to create several spaces for you to sit next to and across from other UBC’ers in an environment that encourages authenticity, openness and growth. These groups change from semester to semester, and some of them have limited space available based on size constraints for healthy small groups. For more information please email toph@ubcwaco.org
This Sunday after church, and on Sunday September 9th, you will have an opportunity to learn more about these groups and sign-up. After the service, while folks are setting up for our Fiesta, we will have the leaders/organizers of these groups in different rooms of the church. These leaders/organizers will head straight to the room(s) after church, and hang around for about 20-30 minutes. You will have time to go to multiple rooms, so feel free to sign-up for more than one. You can sign-up anytime through the semester, so don't worry if you don't get a chance on Sunday. Here are where the groups will meet for the sign-ups:
MiCasa's and Fall Retreat and Cuba Mission Trip - Youth Room
College Men's and Women's Groups - Piano Room
Women's Bible Study and UBCYP - Blue Room

Mug and Coffee Help
UBC champions. As you know, each week when you come in you are greeted by good looking pastors and should you so choose, a warm cup of joe that is likely poured into a stylish mug. The hard truth is, that coffee doesn't make itself and those mugs don't clean themselves. That my friends, is done by some #champions4thelord. It just so happens that a lot of my mug washers and coffee makers have graduated and gone on to do smaller things. So I'm looking for some replacements. If you would consider serving in this ministry, please email josh@ubcwaco.org.
Sunday School returns September 9th
Cheers: The SS class where everybody knows your name
Led by Jeff Walter and Adam Winn
This class will be a place to grow in our relationships with God and with each other. Each week this semester we’ll studying from the book of Galatians, and throughout the semester we’ll have opportunities to eat together, hang out, and get to know each other. Whether you're new to ubc and looking to plug in, or if you’ve been around a while, you’re welcome to join us. Cheers!
Attention Collection
Led by Jameson McGregor and Kerri Fisher
We all have a collection we've been curating since we were born. It is composed of all the things that have challenged and formed us more fully into who we are--that have shaped what we think about ourselves and our neighbor; about God and the cosmos. It is made up of movies, songs, books, places, memories....you get the idea. Collections like this do their job best when we take the time to notice them, and perhaps to share them with one another. So this class is going to be about that. About sharing parts of ourselves with one another by sharing things have that been meaningful to us. And in our sharing, we hope to come to know ourselves, our neighbors, and our God more fully.
