(In The Life Of The Church)

Lent

From Taylor


Hey UBC,

I just wanted to say really quickly that some of my favorite times are when we’re all together. And some of my other favorite times are when I get to be together with my Mi Casa or other smaller groups of UBCers. Especially as we’ve been moving through hard seasons over the past several years I’ve really found that when I say, “I’m so excited to worship with you,” on Sunday mornings I really really mean it. I am thankful for you guys!

We’re putting out our Summer Calendar in April and I really hope you’ll take a look at it and find a couple of eventsWe totally understand that you want to come to and then make a point of attending them. I totally understand if you can’t do that for any and all reasons. But just know that if you can I’d love to see you. I am always excited when any group of us get to be together and I hope you are too!

If you’re looking for ways to get involved or connect more with other UBCers you can email any of us on staff and my email is taylor@ubcwaco.org! I’d love to. hear from you! See you Sunday!
