Setlist 4-28-2019

This past Sunday was the second Sunday of Eastertide, and our songs were gathered with this in mind.  Below, you’ll find the list of the songs and artists. Clicking the song titles will take you to the lyrics.  Below the songs, you can find a brief example of one way you might think of these songs. If you want to talk about any of these, feel free to comment at the bottom of this page or email me at jamie@ubcwaco.org.

Songs:

Hope by Jameson McGregor

All Creatures of Our God and King by David Crowder* Band

Pulse by ubcmusic

Eternal Anchor by Jameson McGregor

Mystery by ubcmusic (adapted from Charlie Hall)

Doxology

How They Fit In:

There are many ways to think about the significance of songs and the way they fit together–-this is simply one way you can look at these songs in light of this week’s theme. 

Hope: This song proclaims the hope of Easter, that the Living God is working to redeem the entire cosmos.

All Creatures of Our God and King: We sang this song to join our voices to all of creation in celebrating God as our Creator, Sustainer, and Re-Creator.

Pulse: This song is a petition for the Spirit to work Resurrection in our hearts and form us in the way of Christ.

Eternal Anchor: This song is about the Living God’s saving love for God’s creatures, and God’s making all things new.

Mystery: We sang this song to celebrate the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.

Doxology: We close our time together each week with this proclamation that God is worthy of praise from every inch of the cosmos.

Lent

In the Night (by jamie)

Several people have asked me this past week if we have a recording of In the Night (that’s the song we add pieces to each week of Lent and play in full on Easter Sunday). We do. We technically have two. One of them was recorded “live” in a studio several years ago, and the other was recorded live at church last year. I’m partial to the church one, so I’m going to link that below—you can download it from soundcloud if you so desire. I also wanted to say that we are going to have a proper studio version on ubcmusic, vol. 2, which I’m guessing will be out around October.

Anyway, here it is:

Backside

We’re having a Backside on Friday, May 3rd, at 7pm. If you are interested in playing music, reading poetry, etc., email jamie@ubcwaco.org.

Study Hall

It’s that time of the semester, and you UBC is here for you. We will be open from 10am-midnight on Dead Days (May 6 and 7). We will have the usual: snacks, drinks, coffee, wi-fi, and fun. On the 7th at 9pm, we have surprise this year that you definitely don’t want to miss out on. If you have any questions, email toph@ubcwaco.org

Cuba Partnership Informational Meeting

We are headed to Cuba this summer in late July, and there will be 2 one week trips. We are having an informational meeting this Sunday after church in the Piano Room. If you can’t come to the meeting, but would like more information, email toph@ubcwaco.org

The Case for Rebuilding Notre Dame in a World of Suffering

I make lists of everything.

My favorite form of art is architecture.

As you might imagine, I have a list of favorite cathedrals.  You can quit holding your breath. Here it is:

1. Notre Dame

2. Sagrada Família

3. St. Basil’s in Moscow

4. Hallgrímskirkja

5. Westminster

Or so I think; I haven’t seen them all in person.

When I saw Notre Dame burning this week i thought, “Oh shoot, when I have time and space to catch up to this tragedy emotionally, this will be sad because that’s my favorite cathedral.”  

Then I thought, “I bet I’ll write the newsletter about this.”

Then everyone wrote about Notre Dame.  There is nothing left to say. Or at least nothing I can think of that you haven’t read.  

Let’s highlight some of the things you’ve read about:

1. We need beauty

2. The Catholic Church is rich

3. Other churches burned in Louisiana and you didn’t care

4. Trump gave money to this, but not pipes to fix Flint’s water problem

5. The cross is still standing inside the cathedral, that’s a miracle*

6. This all happened during Holy Week … OMG what does that mean!!!???!!!

Because it’s Good Friday, i’d like to take on the “Don’t save Notre Dame, save the _____________” argument.

Here’s a quintessential expression of this argument:

That’s hard to argue with.  We even have a pretty direct analog in the temple and Jesus.  The Jewish devotion toward the temple supersedes our care for Notre Dame.  And yet, as the Debbie Downer meme suggests, I think you’d be hard pressed to convince Jesus that the temple mattered more than people.  Especially the people on the margin.

That being said, I’m now going to put forth my thesis.

We should cheerlead the restoration of Notre Dame, Flint water pipes, Puerto Rico, immigration reform, and all the other things you want to add to this list.  

Why? Because it can all be done.  

Yes, it is disappointing that people care about buildings more than people, but let’s hold out robust hope for all of it anyway.  

Here’s why:

1. We need beauty.  See the other articles on the internet.

2. Temples are inevitable.  (Wait, what did you say?)

My friend Wally Brueggemann argues that in the Bible you will find a motif of what he calls structure legitimation and the motif of pain embrace.

Structure Legitimation = David, Zionism, Paul trajectory, or what I like to call the Ronald Reagan tradition.

Pain Embrace = Moses wandering the desert, prophets, Jesus, or what I like to call the Jesse Jackson tradition

One has Jesus, so that wins, right?  Well maybe, but what is heaven and what are we going to do there?  You think those celestial pipe organs are 2nd rate. No, no my friends, eschatology is filled with grandeur and you need a vision for it.  

I could simplify the motifs this way.  The church will always have the prophet and priest.  It will always have moments and institutions. It’s why we have one theology that’s concerned about saving your soul from hell and one theology that’s concerned about saving you from social oppression. It’s Jew and Greek.

The movements are full of conscience and rebuke the institutions.  They gain momentum and then they unionize and formalize and find a leader.  Then they build a building. And then someone comes along someday and rebukes that movement, which has become an institution.  

It’s how it goes. I’m not even going to say that we need both.  Nah, I’m going to say the more honest thing. They are both inevitable.  

So this what you should do. Take $50. Give $10 to Puerto Rico, $10 to Flint Water Pipes, $10 to Louisiana churches, $10 to the social cause that you want to give to, and $10 to Notre Dame because God is interested in all of it.

Town Hall Summary

This past Sunday UBC held a brief town hall to give everyone an update on happenings inside of the church aside from our current LGBTQ conversation, which has taken up much of attention and energy lately. Here is a summary of that discussion.

Finance: We currently have on hand 107K (roughly, as it is subject to change) in checking and 294K savings. We had a banner December of giving with $130K of donations in year end giving. In light of UBC’s recent discussion, the finance team has asked the staff to prepare a budget with a 10% decrease in spending. That budget is being finalized for finance team/leadership team approval this week.

HR: April is the month in which annual reviews are conducted. Those reviews are being conducted this week and next and will be produced for the leadership team by the end of April.

LGBTQ Discernment Process: Leadership team communicated that they would like to reiterate that the timeline for a conclusion to this process is not set in stone. They finished taking opinions on April 7th and are now looking over that data as they being their discerning process and move towards a vote. A question was asked about the disclosure of the information of opinions or a summary of the data. That question is being taken into consideration by the leadership team.

Building Update: For the time being, UBC is suspending pursuing the building project until we have a clearer picture of the financial state of the church after the decision has been made.

Sabbatical: Per the employee handbook, Josh is eligible for a sabbatical this summer. He has written a proposal for June, July and the first two weeks of August that he submitted to the leadership team. That proposal is being reviewed. If Josh is granted sabbatical, his preaching responsibilities will primarily be filled by Toph and Taylor.

Songs:

Just A Closer Walk With Thee

Fall Afresh by Jeremy Riddle

Lord, I Need You by Matt Maher

Be Thou My Vision

How They Fit In:

There are many ways to think about the significance of songs and the way they fit together–-this is simply one way you can look at these songs in light of this week’s theme. 

In the Night: This song traces the thread of God’s presence within struggle throughout the biblical narrative, and invites us to step into the lineage of hope-in-despair.

Here Is Our King: We sang this song because honestly what other song would you sing for Palm Sunday while a parade of children danced in waving palm branches?

Just A Closer Walk With Thee: This song gets to one of the primary concerns of Lent: being formed in the way of Christ.

Fall Afresh: We sang this song to invite the Spirit to continue to transform us and to guard our faith from complacency.

Lord, I Need You: This song offered us a prayer to carry us through the end of Lent.

Be Thou My Vision: This song will accompany us through Lent, reminding us to turn to God for our vision, wisdom, and security.

Lent

       Hey Newsletter friends - Taylor here.  This coming Sunday is one of my favorite Sundays of the year – it’s Children’s Sunday at UBC y’all! Our kids are going to be leading us in worship this Sunday and I am so excited about it.  They are going to be helping Jamie lead us in song, they’re going to be reading us Scripture, teaching us about the story, and showing off some artwork that they’ve been making over the past several weeks.

            I would just ask that you be in prayer for our kids and for your own spirit this Sunday! I think our kids at UBC are so smart and caring and kind – and I think that they have a lot to teach us. So I ask that you pray this prayer over the course of the next couple of days – as many times as seems necessary to you:

Creator God,

We ask that you ready our hearts for what our children (Your children) might teach us this coming Sunday.

We ask that you would give us ears to hear and eyes to see and hearts to receive what it is that You are trying to teach us.

We ask that you would help us to have grace for moments that aren’t perfect – on Sunday and in every other moment of our lives.

And that we would be formed by the joy and innocence of childhood – so that we might better embody those qualities out into the world.

We ask for courage on Sunday – that all the children who are leading us would sense Your calm presence and gift us with their wisdom.

We thank You for children, for the ways in which they form us as a community, and for the ways in which they will lead us on Sunday. And we ask that Your Holy Spirit would empower us to be led by them.

It’s in Your name we pray.

Amen.

Thank you so much for joining me in that prayer! I can’t wait for you to be formed by the leadership of UBC’s kids on Sunday!

If you have any questions about Children’s Sunday - or if you are a parent who has questions about how your child is supposed to participate - please feel free to email me here. See y’all on Sunday!

Holy Week Schedule

Friends,

As you know, the week in which we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord is almost upon us. As such we have a few extra dates of worship during the week. I’d like to share those with you.

Maundy Thursday: we will gather for a potluck which is intermingled with the reading of scripture and communion. Festivities begin at 5:30.

Good Friday: a Good Friday service will begin at 5:30. I suspect it will run about 35 minutes. There will not be child care for the Good Friday service.

Town Hall

As you might have observed UBC has spent a large amount of effort this semester on our LGBTQ conversation. Alas, there are other things going on in the life of the church. We will have our quarterly town hall on Sunday April 14th after church.

Liturgy 4-7-2019

This blog is a record of the call to worship, Scripture readings, and prayers from our Sunday liturgies.  If you are interested in writing something for the liturgy, or if you have a concern about any aspect of our liturgy, please email jamie@ubcwaco.org.

Call to Worship

we have gathered to worship the Living God

the One who draws rivers in the desert,
who makes a way where there isn’t one

and to enter God’s embrace

to find rest
renewal
and strength

as we invite the Spirit of God
to transform our hearts and our minds

teaching us to live, to love, and to die
in the way of Christ

Amen

Scripture

Isaiah 43:16-21

Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
who brings out chariot and horse,
army and warrior;

they lie down, they cannot rise,
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
Do not remember the former things,
or consider the things of old.

I am about to do a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.

The wild animals will honour me,
the jackals and the ostriches;
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
the people whom I formed for myself
so that they might declare my praise.

Philippians 3:4b-14

If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.

Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith.

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.

In the Night: This song traces the thread of God’s presence within struggle throughout the biblical narrative, and invites us to step into the lineage of hope-in-despair.

Wayward Ones:  This is our communion hymn, and it contemplates Christ's self-giving love that is displayed and remembered in the eucharist.

Wandering: We sang this song to remind ourselves and proclaim aloud that God is faithfulness is constant when ours falters, and that God is, for whatever reason, choosing to draw us in to God’s work in the world despite how unreliable we can be.

Come Alive: This song is about our coming alive as we learn to do the dance of Christ.

Be Thou My Vision: This song will accompany us through Lent, reminding us to turn to God for our vision, wisdom, and security.

The Daughter that Left

I’ve been thinking all week about MAB’s sermon and how the Father didn’t go after the son. In both the other parables the people search for what was lost, but when the son left by his own choice the father did not chase after him. What does this mean? That God won’t come after us when we leave?

When I finished my junior year at The University of Oklahoma I didn’t believe that Jesus was God. I took a couple classes in my Religious Studies major and couldn’t make sense of anything anymore: Jesus, sin, heaven/hell, etc. I told my Christian sorority, my church, and my parents that I was no longer a Christian. 

I didn’t dabble in anything too serious, but I was the daughter that left. I didn’t want anything to do with my Father’s house anymore, and I didn’t want to pretend to live by God’s rules—which I didn’t believe. I still believed in one God (and almost converted [reverted] to Islam), but I didn’t know what that meant. And I didn’t think I’d ever want to come back home. 

But I did. 

I don’t think God chased after me. I think God waited until I was ready to come back home. And that is beautiful and meaningful and incredibly confusing when we hear that God will come after us and then doesn’t. I think we are granted time for doubt, for complete disbelief, and for running away. But this doesn’t mean God doesn’t want us back—just waiting for us to want to be back. 

So UBC, may you be encouraged when you run away and don’t feel God’s presence. May you be encouraged when you are home and God is blessing your sibling that has come back. May you be encouraged that no matter how long you are gone, God desires you. 

If you want to meet and talk about anything I’ve mentioned, feel free to email me at Kim@ubcwaco.org.
