CHURCH NEEDS
Sharyl West (Loeung) Mealtrain
With Sharyl’s permission, her story is being shared and the need for support is great for her and the boys right now. Please keep her in your prayers and consider helping with the meal train!
Prep Parties//Meals Available
After the Congressional Budget Bill passed in July of 2025, we knew that we had to respond with radical hospitality through practical means. The bill cut food assistance funding significantly, and will have lasting impacts on SNAP eligibility and work requirements. With so much food insecurity already in our community, we launched Prep Parties at UBC. Prep Parties are a chance for small groups of people to gather together, cook freezer meals, and stock the freezer in our kitchen. The meals are free to anyone in our congregation or broader community who may need them, whatever the reason. Too much month at the end of the money? Busy weekend protesting and advocating for policy change? Hosting a MiCasa and don't have time to cook? Please grab a meal!
If you are interested in joining our next round of Prep Parties, please email andie@ubcwaco.org. The plan is to restock on a quarterly basis, and we need shoppers, cooks, and hosts.
Feed the Youths
Part of our youth group’s Wednesday gatherings is eating dinner, and you can sign up to be the source of said dinner!
KIDS CAMP
Nicole has reserved 4 girl spots and 4 boy spots for Passport Camp July 19-22nd @ Lake Brownwood. Cost per spot is $408. This is for completed 3rd grade- completed 6th graders! We will also take a male and female chaperone and need drivers.

Mister Rogers Sunday- Sunday, May 3
Each year around graduation season, we take a moment to reflect on the life of Fred Rogers and remember that vocation is not divided into sacred and secular categories. We also celebrate our graduates. If you are graduating this semester (high school, college, grad school, etc), we’d love to recognize you in church and feed you after. Please reach out to andie@ubcwaco.org so we can be in touch.
