TAYLOR’S POST
Brace yourselves for another installment in the critically acclaimed “everyone on staff answers the same question” series. This week, Taylor is curious about showcasing local cuisine:
If you met someone new to Waco, what restaurant would you recommend to them?"
Taylor- Saffron
Jeff- Taqueria #9
Jamie- Poppa Rollos
Kirk- George’s or Hecho en Waco
Toph- [Toph is in Thailand, but he for sure took Andie to Helberg when she was visiting Waco]
GIVING
UBC survives on the generosity of our congregation. Your tithes and offerings allow us to continue to create a space that is welcoming to all, embraces beauty, and seeks to live life to the fullest.
You can give, as you’re able, on Sunday mornings or set up a single or recurring online gift here.
If you ever have trouble with giving online or have a question about how to give, feel free to email jeff@ubcwaco.org.
CHURCH NEEDS
Kids Volunteers
We are so thankful for our UBC Kids Volunteers! If you are available to help on Sunday mornings or other times this semester please reach out to Taylor at taylor@ubcwaco.org.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Micasa’s
Micasa’s are designed to build more intentional community within the larger community of UBC. They meet on either Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday night. If you would like to get plugged into a Micasa, sign-up in the foyer or contact toph@ubcwaco.org for questions.
September Dinner Clubs
Do you eat dinner? Would you like to get to know other UBC’ers? If you answered yes to both questions, sign-up in the foyer for September Dinner Clubs. Toph will connect you with two or three other UBC folks, and you commit to finding a time in September for everyone to meet up and eat dinner. If you have any questions, contact toph@ubcwaco.org

If you are a young professional or grad students in their mid-20’s to mid-30’s, join us at Toph’s Casa on the 7th for a time of games and fellowship.
