Outdoor Easter Service (by Josh)
Hello all. As you likely read in last weeks newsletter we are looking for ways to be together. And so, we are taking our first step on Sunday April 4, aka Easter Sunday. Weather cooperating, we will be worshiping together outside. Here are some things you should know:
We will still be live-streaming. So if you are not comfortable worshiping with us, you will still have that option.
We will be worshiping on the south side of the building facing 18th st. See picture below.
We are requiring members to wear masks and sit apart from one another. Worshiping family units will occupy designated parking spaces.
We will not have childcare, but children are very welcome to the service! There will be Children’s Bulletins available as well as a Children’s Moment during the service.
Bathrooms will be available for use, but only one family unit will be allowed to use a bathroom at a time. Leadership team members will serve as hall monitors.
One of the biggest question marks for us is parking. Because we are occupying part of our parking lot for worship, we will have less parking. We also do not know how many people to expect for a number of reasons. To that end, please review this map which highlights all the areas UBCers can park, including the gravel lot across from us on 17th the we own, as well as the grass lot at the intersection of 18th and Flint across the alley from our current parking lot (highlighted in red below)
To help us prepare and be safe as possible, we are asking those of you who think that you will be attending our outdoor Easter worship service to register by signing up here. This is not a commitment, just something to gauge interest and what kind of space we need to provide.
Lastly, we are asking for you to offer us a spirit of grace as we move forward. We realize that there will be quirks as we go. While our goal is to create an environment to worship together consistently, we are using Easter as a learning experiment. If it goes well, this could become a weekly reality until we can move safely back into the building. We will give constant updates as we watch the weather and learn what logistical hurdles we need to overcome.
Thanks team. We look forward to begin with you soon.

Are you Graduating?
Hello UBC Family, it is fast approaching the time of year in which we honor all those graduating at UBC. If you are graduating hs, college, or grad school, we would love to honor you during our Mr. Rogers service at the end of April. Please send an email to toph@ubcwaco.org to let us know you are graduating.
Easter Fridays
Hello friends. As many of you know, Easter is a season of celebration in the church. Keep your eyes and ears open for a series of Friday night parking lot events to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord through fellowship. The first is a Jeopardy night that will happen on Friday, April 9th @ 7 PM. There will be a children’s game and a older person games. Prizes are being decided on, but they will likely be amazing (if finance team approves them).
