Vol. 2 Thank You Note

Greetings.

Many of you have offered kind words about Ubcmusic, Vol. 2, and I want to say thanks for those.

I have had the privilege of being Ubc’s Worship & Arts Pastor for almost 5 years, and I still can’t believe I get to do this job.  There are many reasons for that, but one of them is that songwriting is in my job description.  Thank you for allowing me to put words and sounds together in an attempt to speak of God and life.  Thank you for allowing me to put time and resources toward recording those songs.  And thank you, knowingly or not, for joining me in writing and shaping these songs.

Thanks also go to Andy, Colton, and Byron for all the time and creative energy they put into these songs in the studio, in addition to the time they put in to making music on Sundays, as well as the untold hours that Jack Parker spent producing all the songs and recording his contributions.  All of these humans are gifts to our community, and I am thankful for them.

Before we released, I encouraged you to spread the word in the event that these songs might be meaningful to people outside of Ubc, and it seems that many of you have done that. In the past two weeks, The Word Is Yet Flesh has been played over 2,000 times, and most of those plays have come from places that aren’t Waco (Waco is our 4th most listening city). I find that exciting, humbling, and all-around strange, and am grateful to have been a part of releasing it. 

Anyway, as we all contemplate our gratitude for any number of things this week, I want you to know that I am immensely grateful for this community, and the work that we get to do together.  

-Jamie

Part Time Office Manager Position

UBC is looking to hire a part time (20 hour a week) office manager. The office manager need not be a member of the UBC community. They do need to be able to put up with the current staff and all their eccentricities, so please pray for us as that narrows the field significantly. Application and job description can be found by clicking this link.
