UBC Women’s Group
This group is for those who identify as female, who are out of college and the young professional world, who are closer to 40ish and older, and are looking for a place to connect with other UBC women. Also, as with most groups at UBC, age is relative, so if you are keenly interested please reach out to us. The next gathering will be March 25 at 7ish, at Jen Carron’s house. If you would like more information, please contact Noel Carlson (612-801-5831) for more information.
Third Wednesday
We will continue our 3rd Wednesday formational series on Wednesday, March 16th as we welcome Dr. Holly Oxhandler to discuss her new book, The Soul of the Helper. This discussion will take place from 6-8 P.M. @ UBC.
UBC @ the Zoo
Are you staying in Waco for spring break? Looking for something to do? Tomorrow, Wednesday March 9th UBCers of all stripes are meeting at the Waco Zoo for a riveting time of buffalo watching, animal noise listening, and other fun activities. UBC champions will meet at 10:30 for a zoo experience and then eat together afterwards either by purchasing food from the zoo or bringing your own picnic food.
