Please remember that we have a different schedule for our Sunday morning activities this Sunday, March 14. Basically everything will be one hour earlier:
- Bible study at 9:20 a.m.
- Worship gathering at 10:30 a.m.
- Church bus picks up starting at Edward Gay at 9:00 a.m.
The reason is because this Sunday we encourage you to join us for Family Fun Day! After worship both Church of the Nations and University Baptist Church will have a picnic lunch. Games and small prizes for children. And a few games for older children and adults as well. Easter egg hunts. And music and entertainment while we eat.
(Church of the Nations normally helps prepare the lunches. So we will have a short worship time and then some of us will go to the kitchen and put food into boxes for the people.)
Very important! Daylight savings time begins again this weekend. Move your clocks forward one hour Saturday night. (Yes this means we lose one hour. Sorry.) If you forget to do this then you will be one hour late for everything.

Jiaozi. Mandu. Momo. Gyoza. Dumplings.
We plan to celebrate the Lunar New Year early with our annual dumpling party on Friday, January 29 starting at 6:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall of University Baptist Church. We will make… cook… and eat dumplings! Along with a few cold dishes and desserts. What makes this activity different and special is that it is organized and led by internationals. Although Pastor Rick will of course drive the bus for people who need a ride.
We need people who would like to help organize this. That includes buying and preparing dough and ingredients, making wrappers, cooking, cleaning up. The church will cover the cost of food - so please save your receipts.
Update: We already have a team of several people who are coordinating this activity. But they need more helpers! Please call or email Rick Wright at rwright[at]ubc-br[dot]org or 225-766-7474 ext 222 if you want to help with this fun delicious evening.
This activity is for (1) people who participate in our Friday or Sunday activities and (2) their families and (3) new internationals that would like to learn more about Church of the Nations. Children are welcome - but parents must watch and be responsible for them!
You can drive yourself to the church - turn into the first parking lot where the fellowship hall is. Or you can ride on the church bus which picks up from:
- Highland Plantation/Duplantier bus stop (next to WalMart) at 5:50 p.m.
- Edward Gay apartments (outside gate) at 6:00 p.m.
- Nicholson bus stop at 6:05 p.m.
- Tigerland (let Rick know exactly where) at 6:10 p.m.
Yes this means we arrive at the party a little late. But it will not make much of a difference. We should be finished and taking people home by 8:00 p.m.
We encourage everyone who wants to practice and improve their English to join us this Friday, January 22 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the home of:

Did you want to come to the opera in November but could not make it? Are you sad that you missed the wonderful performance of “Turandot” by Giacomo Puccini? Would you like to spend only $10 for an afternoon in New York City?
Church of the Nations will take another group to enjoy the opera on Saturday, January 16 starting at 12:00 noon. We will watch the New York Metropolitan Opera perform the famous opera “Carmen” by Bizet. This will be a live broadcast from New York City.
You can meet us at the Citiplace movie theater on Corporate Boulevard at 11:30 a.m. or you can ride on the church bus which will pick up from:
- Highland Plantation/Duplantier at 11:00 a.m.
- Edward Gay apartments at 11:10 a.m.
- Nicholson bus stop at 11:15 a.m.
- (Tigerland - if someone asks me to pick them up there - at 11:20 a.m.)
We encourage you to eat lunch before you come. Please bring $10 to help with the cost of the tickets. (Or you can bring the coupons that the movie theater gave us after “Turandot”.) I need to know by Thursday if you would like to come so that I can buy enough tickets!
