Hello friends. One transition we are looking to execute, is moving more of our content online in video form. Alas, this is a first attempt at doing that. So look for occasional newsletter entries to appear as video instead of written essays.
Looking to volunteer with UBC’s Youth Group? Look no further!
If you are at all interested in volunteering with our Youth (grades 7th-12th), please send an email to mailto:kieran@ubcwaco.org letting us know!
A Word From Our Leadership Team
Dear UBCers,
I am writing to give you a brief update from the UBC Leadership Team. We met recently and discussed the rise of the Covid Delta variant in our community and what that means for our congregation.
First, we are so grateful to all of you for wearing masks when indoors at UBC and we’re asking you to continue doing that for now. The City of Waco and the Waco McLennan County Public Health District are currently urging residents to wear masks in public due to the recent surge.
Secondly, we plan to continue meeting in person both on Sunday mornings and at other gatherings during the week. Sunday morning worship will continue to be live-streamed.
In summary, UBC’s current Covid protocols include:
We ask everyone to wear masks when indoors.
Worship and classes will continue to meet indoors.
Worship is live-streamed on our Facebook page.
We will continue monitoring local conditions and stay apprised of CDC guidance. We hope and pray that this recent rise in Covid cases is temporary and thank you in advance for helping keep our beloved UBC community safe.
We are eager to continue meeting together safely and hope to see you all in a service soon or chat with you online during a live-streamed service. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
In Hope,
Kathy Krey
Chair, Leadership Team

Young Professionals Game Night
Have you ever traded away all of your wheat and then played a monopoly card? Have you ever felt the exhilaration of putting hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place and watched your opponents get crushed under the relentless tax system of Monopoly? Have you ever been sent down that humongous purple slide in Chutes and Ladders because you tried to reach for the cookie jar? Well do we have an opportunity for you. On September 9, @ 7 PM gamers of all stripes will gather at UBC for snacks, eats, and the thrilling experience of playing board games. If you are a young professional, and by that we mean really anyone who has graduated from college and moved on with life, you are welcome and wanted at this event. For questions please contact danieleharris38@gmail.com.
