Last UBC Kids Hangout! (by Taylor)
Hello friends! All summer we’ve had UBC Kids Hangouts on Tuesdays. We’ve had so much fun hanging out at the park and watching movies at the church and today, for our final Hangout of the summer, we went to the splash pad at Cameron Park! It was so fun and such a great way to end the summer!
Here are some fun pictures so you can feel like you were there:
It’s been so great having fun together this summer! I’m already looking forward to UBC Kids Hangouts next summer! And I can’t wait for some of the fun things we have planned for the Fall!
Meet the Newest L-Team Rep
Name: Katie Valenzuela
Why are you in Waco: I moved to Waco for a job at the beginning of 2017 and have lived here ever since. Now, Waco is home! Currently, I work at The Advocacy Center for Crime Victims and Children as a Prevention Educator.
Currently Watching: The Bachelorette because I love shouting at my television and watching through Game of Thrones for the first time. (p.s. currently reading: There Plant Eyes by M. Leona Godin.)
Vacation Destination: anywhere with mountains.
Favorite Waco Restaurant to Eat At: Ranchito #5 (their warm salsa (!!!!), folks— it’s incredible)
Bible verse/chapter/book that has impacted you: Psalm 23 changed my life a few years ago and led to me getting a tattoo surrounding it. Ask me about it sometime!
Something we'd never know about you: I’ve thought way too long about this question because I’m an open book and I can’t think of something people wouldn’t know… so, I’ll stick with the fact that I’m an avid believer of the Oxford comma.
Meet the UBCer

Liturgy of Mourning (childcare provided))
We will be having another Liturgy of Mourning on Wednesday, August 18th at 5:30PM. It will be the same liturgy we offered at the beginning of July, but we wanted to offer another opportunity with childcare in order to be accessible to more people. We are all carrying various sorts of grief and loss from the past year and a half. This liturgy is a time for us to give attention to that pain as a community, to honor what has been lost, and to grasp for hope together. If you have any questions about the liturgy, feel free to email jamie@ubcwaco.org.
Parishioner of the Week
David Rhefeld, The Richardsons and all who gave so much to UBC all these years.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
-Bono (Probably)
