We have regular activities on Sunday morning.
- Bible study* at 10:10 a.m.
- Worship together at 11:00 a.m.
We have a Bible study class for beginners in simple English and a class for people who know the Bible well. There are also special classes and activities for children and youth. Worship is in simple English – we sing songs, pray, hear Bible stories, and the pastor gives a short presentation.
If you live on or near Louisiana State University the church bus can pick you up and give you a ride.
- Highland Road bus stop at 9:30 a.m.
- Edward Gay apartments at 9:40 a.m.

Please allow 5-10 minutes for the bus to arrive because of weather or traffic. You can also drive yourself. We are at 5775 Highland Road, 70808. If you drive yourself turn into the back parking lot.
We look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
Very important! Our Sunday morning schedule will be different during the Advent/Christmas season. Starting this Sunday November 27 our schedule will be:
- Bible study at 9:15 a.m.
- Worship at 10:30 a.m.
- Bus picks up starting at Edward Gay at 8:50 a.m.
This will be our Sunday schedule from November 27 to January 1 2012.
We will not have English Conversation again until January 2012.
We do this every year because December is a busy month with exams, papers, graduation, traveling, and special Christmas activities. Church of the Nations will have several special Christmas activities. We will post these on this website and also let you know about these by email.
Daylight savings time starts this Saturday November 5 at midnight. Remember “fall back, spring forward“.
Before you go to bed on Saturday make sure you change your clocks so they are one hour earlier. If you forget to do this you will miss our activities this weekend because you will be one hour too early. Daylight savings time means we all get one extra hour!
You should not have to change cell phones or computers. They usually change automatically.
This Saturday November 5 is a “church work day” from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon.
What is a “church work day”? It is a day when we help take care of the wonderful church property that we enjoy using. We might clean, paint, repair. We also need people to help with drinks, snacks, and encouraging volunteer workers. No one has to participate. But if you have time Saturday morning and would like to help you will be very welcome. There will be something to do for everyone. There will be a volunteer supervisor who has a list of things for us to do.
Church of the Nations has been asked to help this Saturday. There will be four other groups from University Baptist Church. If you come make sure you wear “work clothes” – clothes that can get dirty.
No English Conversation this Friday November 4. Instead we encourage you to join us Sunday morning for free lunch after regular activities.
We are very sorry but we have to cancel English Conversation this week because of something unexpected. We will see if we can schedule an extra English Conversation time to make up for this.
We still encourage you to join us Sunday morning for Bible study and worship and then Sunday evening for Fall Fest.
Come learn more interesting things about life in Baton Rouge at English Conversation this Friday, October 21 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the home of:

Some of you know that Rick Wright – pastor of Church of the Nations – is teaching a class at Louisiana State University this year as an adjunct instructor. His class is Monday through Thursday mornings in Coates Hall near the Student Union. That means he is on campus four days a week! He would love to get together with internationals for lunch. Does not have to be at a restaurant – we can bring our own lunches and meet somewhere. And he can come to where you are. Classroom, office, lab – wherever.
If you would like to him to come meet you for lunch send him an email at Rwright@Ubc-br.org or call him on his cell phone (number below). He can meet people for lunch any day except Monday.
