JAMIE’S POST
Greetings. I want to take a moment to highlight two important upcoming dates.
First: Town Hall! We will have our quarterly Town Hall meeting this Sunday after church. This is a time to hear updates from Leadership Team, HR Team, and Finance Team, to ask questions, and to voice any hopes and dreams you might have.
Also, don’t forget that Andie’s first Sunday with us is September 17th! I know we are all very excited to have her with us, and I’m looking forward to welcoming her and her family home.
Take care!
THIS WEEK
UBCYP Hangout - September 7th
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. This is a great group, and a great way to get to know other UBC’ers in a similar life stage. You can sign-up in the foyer, or email toph@ubcwaco.org with any questions.
Sunday School Returns- September 10th, 9:30am
Nick Deere is leading a class called "Faith of the Outsider," starting September 10th. Inspired by the work of Frank Anthony Spina, this class will look at the ‘outsider’ motif running throughout the Bible, seeing how outsiders are often welcomed into and become a part of God’s plan. Each week we will look at one Biblical story of an outsider and broaden our view of inclusion and exclusion in the Biblical narrative.
Town Hall - September 10th, after church
ubc[creatives] - September 10th, 4pm
Come spend time with creative folks talking about creative stuff!
College Hangout - September 10th
Join us for our first college hangout of the year at Toph’s Casa. We will be eating dinner, playing games, and getting to know each other. There is a sign-up sheet in the foyer, or you can email toph@ubcwaco.org to sign-up.
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
Youth Group Dinner Sign Ups
Part of our youth’s weekly gathering is eating together, which is of course important for the growth of both community and teenagers. You can help foster this growth by signing up to bring food some time. You’ll find more info and a sign up sheet here.
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 email kids@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
Youth & 5th/6th Grade Groups- September 13th
Our youth and 5th/6th grade groups will resume their Wednesday night gatherings on September 13th at 6pm.
Women’s Group Pool Party- 9/15, 7:30pm
This group meets once a month to hang out, and is a great way to get to know other UBC women who are out of college/grad school. The next gathering is on Friday, September 15th at the Dodsons, and will be a pool party. If you have any questions, contact Tiffany Covert at covertjt@yahoo.com.
