The Choir of the Nations will practice again this Friday, June 26 starting at 6:00 p.m. in the chapel at University Baptist Church. Every practice is important - this practice is especially important because we will sing during the worship gathering this Sunday, June 28. There will be a snack. And Pastor Rick will pick up people who need a ride from the usual places on and near the university campus starting at 5:40 p.m.
Unless there is somewhere else you must be (for work or school) please be sure to come! And please be on time - if you have trouble coming by 6:00 p.m. then perhaps try to be here by 5:50 p.m. Choir practice is much more fun and productive when everyone is here and ready to start at six o’clock.
University Baptist Church will offer Vacation Bible School the week of Monday-Friday June 22-26 from 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon each day. This is for children ages 5 through 5th grade. But children in 6th grade or older are very welcome to come and help as volunteers.
The theme is “Boomerang Express” and many of the games and activities will have to do with Australia - as well as learning about the Bible and about Jesus Christ.
If children of international families would like to come please register them online at the University Baptist Church website! Although you can register your children on Monday June 22 it is much better to register them early. Please visit the University Baptist Church website for more information.
Pastor Rick is willing to pick up children who live on or near the Louisiana State University campus - but they must be at least 7 years old and they must come with a card that has their name and contact information. Of course you can always bring your children to the church yourself if you would like.
Our next choir practice will be on Friday June 26 starting at 6:00 p.m.
This practice is especially important because we will sing for both Church of the Nations and University Baptist Church in the “big sanctuary” on Sunday June 28.
If you are able - please be sure to come! and please be on time!
Pastor Rick will be happy to pick up anyone who needs a ride to choir practice starting at 5:35 p.m.

Final note - the choir is always open to new people who would like to join. Come enjoying singing with us! You do not have to be a great singer. You only have to enjoy singing beautiful songs.

Pastor Rick was at a conference last week and will be out of town all of next week. He misses you! And hopes for a chance to spend time together tomorrow morning.
“Up” has received extremely positive reviews! It will be good for children as well as adults.
Pastor Rick Wright and his family will be on holiday - you notice I do not like to use the word “vacation” - next week from Sunday June 07 (afternoon) through Saturday June 13.
Why do we bother to tell you this? Because… because… he will not take a computer with him.
Do not worry. We are fairly sure he will survive.
If there is an emergency or important issue and you need to speak with him please call University Baptist Church office at 225-766-9474 and they can give you my cell phone number (if you do not already have it).
