Josh’s Announcement
My Dear Friends,
If by chance you not yet heard the news, this past Sunday I, Josh, announced that I will be leaving UBC. My last Sunday preaching will be March 20th. For some musings on this momentous decision for my family please watch the video below.
Top(h) Golf - Tuesday 2/22 - 6-8pm
Friends, come join us at Top Golf tonight! This is an excellent time to hang out and meet other UBC’ers, while testing your golf skills, or just watching other people make a fool of themselves! We would love for you to come hang out. Look for Toph down near the Baylor Bays at Top Golf. If you have any questions, please contact toph@ubcwaco.org
First Sunday Meal - March 6 - directly after church
Spring is in the air (except for those two days of week winter creeps back in!), and we are going to spend some time outside. Join us after church on March 6 at Miss Nellie’s Pretty Place in Cameron Park. After church, we encourage everyone to go grab some food and drinks, and bring it to the park for a picnic. We congregate up near the Cameron Park clubhouse, and spend time some hanging out, getting to know one another, enjoying time outside as a community. We hope you can make these First Sunday meals a priority, and look forward to seeing you on March 6. If you have any questions, please contact josh@ubcwaco.org
Game Night
On the 25th of this month at 7:00 we will be hosting a UBC game night! Anyone is welcome to join. There will be a vast variety of modern board games to choose from. There will be party games, family games, strategy games and more! If you have a favorite game, feel free to bring it at well. Join us for a fun time of games, snacks, and amazing people!
UBC Mask Policy
Friends, as we continue to navigate this pandemic we are asking questions about best practices for the church and safety. When making these decisions we are letting several streams of wisdom pour into the collective makeup of our data pool. To that end, I wanted to acknowledge that we are aware that Baylor, a few surrounding ISDs, and sister churches are rescinding mask requirements. In light of this, I wanted to let you know that we continue to converse about these things and do so with care and hopefully wisdom and that if you would like to communicate your thoughts please do so by reaching out any one from these staff.
Giving Statements
In the next week you should be receiving a giving statement from UBC from an email account identified with Breeze. If you have given to UBC and have not received this email by the end of February, please let us know by emailing administrator@ubcwaco.org. Paper copies of giving statements are available upon request. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and partnership with UBC.
Ash Wednesday
Faithful worshippers, here to tell you that our Ash Wednesday service times will be 7:00 A.M. and 5:30 P.M. hope to see you there. Sackcloth and all.
Youth Update
Let me get straight to our schedule for the week:
February 23rd // Wednesday: All Grade Groups! Youth Group, UBC Building, 6:00pm-8:00pm.
February 27th // Sunday MORNING: All Grade Groups! Youth Group Sunday School, UBC Building, 9:30am-10:30am.

Email: kieran@ubcwaco.org or kieran.cressy@me.com
2-22-22
And now for something fun. As you can see, I have included a picture of my high school football trading card. Cue the Explosions In The Sky. Is this a bit obnoxious? Perhaps, and maybe i’m becoming a bit unhinged on my way out the door, but I draw you attention to this because of my fierce love for the number 2. It is the only even prime and the divisor of half of all numbers from now until infinity. What’s more, today is 2-22-22. An occasion and only happens 9 times a century. One is lucky to witness seven or eight of these her lifetime. The next shall occur in 11 years, 1 month and 1 day. As an added bonus, our good Lord has predestined this on a Tuesday. So show your love for the number 2 and treat yourself to a taco two-day.
