No English Conversation or regular Sunday activities this week

Church of the Nations will not have English Conversation this Friday September 23. Also we will not have our regular Sunday morning Bible study or worship this Sunday September 25. The church bus will not be able to pick people up. This is because most of us will be at the camping trip Saturday and Sunday.

However  we encourage people who do not go with us on the camping trip to come for worship and Bible study with University Baptist Church:

  • Traditional worship (similar to Church of the Nations) in the “big sanctuary” at 9:00 a.m.
  • Bible study at 10:10 a.m.
  • “The Journey” (more relaxed style of worship) in the “big sanctuary” at 11:00 a.m.

Please visit www.Ubc-br.org for more information.

Please remember that we return to our regular activities the next week. Bible study, worship, and free fellowship lunch on Sunday October 02.
