(In The Life Of The Church)

Pentecost

On Prayer (By Josh)

It Was Either This Or …

Friends, its autumn, which means that as school schedules return and fall sports begin so too does the “It Was Either This Or …” Podcast. The world renown podcast hosted by Josh & Taylor. Episode 1 of season 2, dropped today. If you love great commentary on culture, entertainment, sports and occasional special guests like Holly Laurent from the MEGA podcast and David Thibodeau (Mount Carmel Survivor), be sure to subscribe.

Power Point Party (9/17)

Do you watch the history channel? Do you take quizzes on sporacle for fun? Ever find yourself watching jeopardy reruns? Boy do we have an opportunity for you. Come to watch or participate in the power point party. Yes, you read that right, people will prepare power point presentations about their favorite topics and we will listen, celebrate their unique interest and have a great time becoming nerdier. Interested presenters should send their ideas to josh@ubcwaco.org. Presentations should be about 8-10 minutes with time for a Q & A afterwards.

Is UBC Your Home?

In last weeks newsletter I made a video in which I acknowledged that COVID has created a season of transition in people’s lives and as a result people may be rethinking life commitments including church. Because UBC does not have membership we’ve have created a survey asking people to answer one questions, “Is UBC your church home?” Survey participants can select “yes,” “no,” or “discerning.” The purpose of this is to help us plan and move forward. So we are kindly asking that you would take our one questions survey if you currently or have had proximity to UBC during the pandemic. Survey can be found here.
