Waco Dives - July 6 - noon - The Eatery

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend. We would love for you to come hang out tomorrow at Waco Dives at noon, at the The Eatery. This is a great time to enjoy some good food, and get to know other UBC’ers. The Eatery has the best soul food in town, in my humble opinion. If you have any questions, please contact toph@ubcwaco.org

Leadership and Finance Team Nominations

First we'd like to applaud Kathy Krey and Taylor Beard for their leadership these last three years.  Kathy and Taylor’s stints on LT are coming to an end this August. We are thankful for their service to our community

So that means we are looking for new folks to serve on the leadership team.  Here is some information for you to consider from the bylaws. 

Section 1.  Leadership Team

(A) Purpose.  The Leadership Team shall be the primary decision-making body of UBC.  The Leadership Team will oversee all the business and property of the church, as well as make the final decisions regarding hiring and dismissal of staff and the acquisition and selling of assets that are beyond budgetary provisions. 

(C) Qualifications.  Each member of Leadership Team shall have been a member of UBC for at least one year, exhibited an understanding and commitment to the mission and values of the church, and be willing to fulfill all responsibilities in the Leadership Team job description.

(E) Term.  Members of Leadership Team may serve for a duration lasting up to three years.  While they are encouraged to remain the full three years, members may voluntarily remove themselves from their position at any time.  Members serving as student member commit to a year with the chance to renew up to three years. 

Nominations begin now.  So if you'd like to nominate yourself or anyone else, please send an email to anyone on staff, toph or taylor

We also have some previously scheduled Finance Team rotations! And so we’re also looking for new Finance Team members. Here is some information to consider from the Bylaws:

Finance Team: The Finance Team is an advisory group to the staff and  Leadership Team, providing guidance, support, and oversight of the financial  aspects of the church. This 5-7 person team of lay members, in consultation with  the Lead Pastor and Office Administrator, meets at least quarterly to prepare the  proposed annual budget, review the church’s fiscal condition, and make  recommendations and decisions regarding expenditures, investments, and other  financial matters. Qualifications and terms for Finance Team service are outlined in  the UBC Bylaws. 

These positions are incredibly important for our community and an important way to serve! Thanks for considering carefully if you are interested or if you know someone who might do a good job. Nominations begin now.  So if you'd like to nominate yourself or anyone else, please send an email to anyone on staff, toph or taylor

UBC Neighborhood Parties - July 22nd - 6pm

We are excited to announce our first round of UBC Neighborhood Parties. This will be on Friday night, July 22, at 6pm. We will have one location in the Hewitt/Woodway area, and one location in town in Castle Heights. UBC will provide the main dish, we ask that you bring a side dish or dessert to share. There are sign-up forms in the lobby on Sundays, and/or you can email toph@ubcwaco.org to sign-up. This is a family friendly event, so definitely bring the kids, and invite your friends. If you have any questions, please contact Toph.
