Office Administrator Job Posting

Friends, it is both with deep gratitude and sadness I report that our fearless and talented office administrator Risse is taking her talents elsewhere. Not since Tom Brady left the Patriots has such a loss been sustained. Still we look forward to new things and new seasons. So if you know someone who might be looking for part time work please direct them to the message and link below.

UBC is looking for a part time (20 hour a week) office administrator to join a dynamic team to carry out its mission.  The office manager supports the mission by addressing building & maintenance needs, managing monthly finances in consultation with the finance team, managing rental contracts, office administration and assisting full time staff with budget related needs.  Literacy in the Microsoft Office suite and a highschool diploma required, experience with quickbooks and a bachelor's degree preferred.  This job allows for flexible scheduling and work from home opportunities.  Compensation will be commensurate with experience.  Interested candidates can find an application and job description by using this link.  

Love, Love Feast

Two times a year we gather for a good old traditional Baptist potluck. This one, the Love, Love Feast, has the additional bonus feature of coming to you around Valentines Day. As such, we are requesting that participants not just bring a food, but rather that you bring a food that you love so much! See what we did there, we are avoiding nominal mundane approach to potlucks and adding this electrifying detail. So set your hearts on good food and that potential special someone on Sunday, February 13th at 5:30 P.M. Note, we are also aware that with the additional football game added to the schedule, Super Bowl Sunday will henceforth coincide with Love, Love Feast. To that end, we are glad to let you know that the game will be projected on our one of a kind Jumbotron.

Parents Night Out

Is pandemic exhaustion catching up with you? Need a nigh away from the kids, blessings from the Lord they be! We have a dynamite opportunity for you. On Friday, February 9, from 6-9 P.M. UBC family ministries will host a parents night out. So start googling your favorite restaurant or a movie you’ve wanted to see because UBC has child care covered. For those either interested in dropping your kids off or volunteering to bless our parents by watching kids, please email Taylor@ubcwaco.org. **** Note the location of this PNO is TBD, to get the most up to date info, please make sure that you reach out to Taylor and sign up. *****

Backside

On Friday, February 18th, at 7pm, we’ll gather in the Backside for an open mic/open wall celebration of creativity. If you play music, tell stories, do stand up, create visual art, bake, etc. email jamie@ubcwaco.org to share your talents with the community.

Youth Info

First is that, with 95% certainty, our Summer Camp will be June 5th to June 10th at Schreiner University. After a lot of messing around on Schreiner's end, we've finally settled on this set of dates. It is virtually certain, but given Schreiner's track record with reliability so far, I want to hold off on confirming this 100% until we've actually signed the contract (which should be sometime this week!). As soon as we've done that, I will let you all know, and I'll be able to share more details!

I'm really pleased we'll be able to actually approach the summer with a concrete plan in mind soon. Thank you all for your patience as this mess has been sorted out!

Okay, next on to our events for the week ahead:

February 9th // Wednesday: NO YOUTH GROUP THIS WEEK!!!! This Wednesday marks the first year anniversary of my Mom-in-law's sudden death. I am taking the time on this day to be with my wife, to support her and also to be in my own grief. If you could keep our family in your prayers this week especially, that would mean the world.

February 13th // Sunday MORNING: All Grade Groups! Youth Group Sunday School, UBC Building, 9:30am-10:30am.

February 13th // Sunday AFTERNOON: All Grade Groups! Dungeons & Dragons Group, UBC Building, 12:00pm-3:00pm.
