FROM LEADERSHIP TEAM
Jeff is no longer serving as UBC's Office Manager. We appreciate all he has done for UBC while serving in this role. You can still direct all administrative emails to administrator@ubcwaco.org.
In the interim, Risse Miller has graciously stepped in to cover the Office Manager responsibilities. The job opening will be posted soon.
THIS WEEK
Youth Group - Wednesday, 6pm
5th & 6th Grade Update
Beginning this week, our 6th graders will officially join the youth group as part of middle school (6th, 7th, and 8th) with programming on Wednesday evenings. Meanwhile our 5th graders will rejoin upper elementary school as part of a 4th and 5th grade class on Sunday mornings. Current 5th graders will transition to youth group over the summer as they promote to 6th grade.
Our hope is that this shift not only better aligns with the way local schools group these grades but also with the actual age and stage of our kiddos. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to brooke@ubcwaco.org.
Pints with Toph - Wednesday, 6pm, Pinewood Public House
GIVING
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.
If you ever have trouble with giving online or have a question about how to give, feel free to email administrator@ubcwaco.org.
