ANDIE’S POST
VisionQuest 2025
Earlier this year, Jamie, Toph, and I sat in my living room dreaming about the upcoming year in the life of UBC. It felt a little premature, because I was just getting to know who UBC is myself. This Sunday, Nicole and Jess are joining us as we envision what God may have for our congregation in the upcoming year. As I reflect on the growth that has already taken place, I get happy little butterflies thinking about how we will once again merge our history and our future. As we look forward to the last three months of the year, I can't wait to continue to incorporate our 2024 theme of lightening into Advent, the season in which we wait for the Light of God to break into the darkness. My ongoing hope for UBC is that we are people who carry the lightness of Jesus to those who are weary beyond expression. Please hold the staff of UBC close as we seek to listen to the Spirit of God together. Words can't express the love and gratitude I hold for UBC, but that's not going to stop me from trying! Check back in two weeks for a VisionQuest update!

UBC survives on the generosity of our congregation. Your financial contributions 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.
