Small change of plan.
Because we do not have English Conversation in May – why not have a movie night? That way people can come and have fun and then we can meet the new pastors of University Baptist Church.
We invite you to movie night this Friday starting at 6:30 p.m. (a little earlier than other movie nights) in the chapel. We will turn the chapel into a movie theater! There will be free drinks and snacks including delicious popcorn. We have not decided which movie yet but probably “Megamind“. Something that is fun and funny for both children and adults. Children are welcome.
You can drive yourself or you can ride on the church bus which will pick up at:
- Edward Gay at 6:15 p.m.
- Alaska at 6:17 p.m.
- Tiger Towers at 6:18 p.m.
- Nicholson at 6:20 p.m.
- Tigerland at 6:25 p.m.
- Brightside bus stop at 6:28 p.m.
Please allow 5-7 minutes for the bus to arrive because of weather or traffic.
And then – Many of you know that University Baptist Church supports Church of the Nations. And for more than a year University Baptist Church has not had a pastor. But they have found two excellent ministers – Mike Massar and Griff Martin – that we hope will become co-pastors. They will be here this week to visit and meet people and to speak to the church on Sunday. And Church of the Nations has a chance to visit with them this Friday May 13 at 8:15 p.m. in the chapel. There will be some light snacks and drinks.
We understand the end of the semester is a busy time for many of you. But if you have time we would love for internationals and Americans to have a chance to meet these two people and to share with them about Church of the Nations.
(Think of it this way. Church of the Nations is like a university department and Pastor Rick is the chairperson. The pastors of University Baptist Church are like deans of the university – Rick will work for them and with them.)
We will have a different Sunday morning schedule this Sunday May 15.
- Bible study at 9:15 a.m.
- Worship at 10:30 a.m.
The bus will pick people up at earlier times:
- Edward Gay apartments at 8:50 a.m.
- Alaska Street at 8:52 a.m.
- Tiger Towers apartments at 8:53 a.m.
- Nicholson bus stop at 8:55 a.m.
- Tigerland at 8:58 a.m.
- Brightside bus stop at 9:00 a.m.
Church of the Nations will join with University Baptist Church in the “big sanctuary” for a special and important worship gathering. The new co-pastors for University Baptist Church will speak. We encourage everyone to come and show our support.
We go back to our normal Sunday schedule again on Sunday May 22.
Someone who has been part of Church of the Nations is finishing her doctoral dissertation and has asked if there are people who know statistics. She has short term work available for people who can use statistics to help her analyze research data.
Please contact Rick at Rwright[AT]Ubc-br[DOT]org or 766-9474 ext 222 if you are interested. He will put you in touch with this graduate student.
This Sunday will be a fun and special day!
First – different schedule
- Bible study at 9:15 a.m.
- Worship at 10:45 a.m. in the “big sanctuary”
The church bus will pick up people starting at Edward Gay apartments at 8:45 a.m.
Church of the Nations will lead worship for University Baptist Church. We encourage as many internationals as possible to come on this special day.
Second – special activities
There will be a Ministry Fair in the courtyard staring at 10:00 a.m. There will be an information table for all the different activities in the church including Church of the Nations and children and youth activities.
After worship there will be a free lunch for the entire church family. If you can please bring a dish to share. If you cannot – please come anyway!
Third – Family Fun Day
Starting about 1:00 p.m. we will have Family Fun Day. There will be music games and special activities for everyone especially children. This will include the traditional Easter Egg Hunt for younger and older children.
Our next English Conversation time will be Friday April 08. But we will have a movie night this Friday instead of English Conversation.
We will not be able to start English Conversation again this Friday January 07.
The simple reason is that is the night of the Cotton Bowl football game between Louisiana State University and Texas A and M University. Almost every American in Baton Rouge will be watching the game – including host families and teachers and church bus drivers. It is not a good night for English Conversation.
But we will start again next Friday January 14. We look forward to seeing you then! And also we look forward to seeing some of the new people that you invite.
We will have a different Sunday morning schedule on December 12, 19 and 26:
- Bible study at 9:15 a.m.
- Worship at 10:30 a.m.
- The bus will pick up people starting at Edward Gay apartments at 8:50 a.m.
Church of the Nations will join with University Baptist Church in the “big sanctuary” for special Christmas music on Sunday December 12.
Please note we have a normal schedule – Bible study at 10:20 a.m. and worship at 11:15 a.m. – on Sunday December 05 and Sunday January 02!
Church of the Nations takes a break from English Conversation during December because it is such a busy month – with exams and projects and graduation and Christmas activities.
See you again in January 2011!
Make sure you move your clocks one hour backwards before you go to bed Saturday night.
Or else you will be one hour early for every activity on Sunday.
Instead we hope you will join us for:
- Movie night this Friday at 7:00 p.m.
- Regular activities and free lunch this Sunday starting at 10:30 a.m.
