Holy Week is the most important time during the Christian calendar. And there will be both extra worship gatherings and a different schedule for Easter Sunday.
- Maundy Thursday worship gathering on Thursday, April 09 starting at 7:00 p.m. in the “big sanctuary” of University Baptist Church. This is one of the most beautiful and meaningful worship times and I strongly encourage people to come to this if they can. The church bus will pick up from the usual places starting at 6:30 p.m.
- Good Friday worship gathering on Friday, April 10 starting at 3:00 p.m. in the chapel. This is when we remember the death of Jesus on the cross. It is a short but serious worship gathering.
- On Easter (Resurrection) Sunday we will have a slightly different schedule. Bible study will begin at 9:20 p.m. and worship at 10:30 p.m. The church bus will pick up from the usual places starting at 9:00 a.m. (And we will return to our normal Sunday morning schedule again on April 19.)
Our “Choir of the Nations” will practice on Friday, April 03 starting at 6:00 p.m. in the chapel.
Pastor Rick will provide transportation for those who need it. The church bus will pick up from Edward Gay at 5:30 p.m. then Tiger Towers at 5:33 p.m. finally Nicholson bus stop at 5:35 p.m. Please allow 5-7 minutes for the bus to arrive because of weather or traffic.
Instead we encourage you to come on Sunday for our free fellowship lunch at 12:15 p.m. after our morning worship gathering.
We will again offer English Conversation this Friday, March 29 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the home of:

Note from Pastor Rick:
We were blessed to have our friend and brother in Christ Clive Tsuma bring the morning message last Sunday. I thought the sermon was exceptional and asked if we could post it on the church website. Clive graciously agreed and here it is. I have edited it only slightly for appearance/format.

“Never Again!”

March 01, 2009
02nd Sunday of Lent (B)
This is a very important season for us Christians. It is a period of reflection, of re-examination; it is the period before Easter. It is a time of prayer, penance, fasting and self-denial. It is a period that commemorates the 40 days that Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness and the terrible suffering and death that He endured on our behalf.
Incidentally, such a period should make us grieve over the mess we make of our lives, the crazy choices we make. But does it mean the fun is over? The Mardi Gras? Is it now time to get sorrowful and guilt-stricken? No fun, no smile until Easter is over?!?
