*Important note about English Conversation – Please read*
English Conversation has always been for adults. (And sometimes youth who participate as students.) *Do not bring children please.* We do not have childcare or a program for children during English Conversation. If children come they will distract you (and others) and make it difficult to concentrate on learning and practicing English. It also makes the activity more difficult for teachers and host families. (Of course Church of the Nations has plenty of other activities and events when children are very welcome such as field trips and movie night as well as Sunday morning Bible study and worship.)
When English Conversation starts again in January we will again ask everyone to follow this rule. (And we are sorry but we cannot allow any exceptions.) If you have any questions please speak with Pastor Rick at rwright AT ubc-br DOT org or 766-9474 ext 222.
Yes! Another camping trip! The weekend Saturday-Sunday, September 27-28 Church of the Nations will host a “camping trip” (or retreat) at Timber Creek Camp in Pulaski, Mississippi (just past Jackson). We will leave Saturday morning and return Sunday afternoon.
Learn more about Timber Creek Camp here.
The theme of the camp is “The Way of Relationship” and will focus on how we can know and have a personal relationship with God. Men/boys and women/girls will stay in nice cabins. There will be fun time, plenty of free time (to rest play or relax), and three short Bible studies. This is a great opportunity to have a short break and get away from Baton Rouge. There are plenty of fun things to do during free time (inside and outside). The food is very good.
The cost of the trip is $53 per person – but we are asking those who come to give only $20. (But we do not want anyone not to come because of cost – talk to us if the cost is a problem.) It is very important that people who want to go (a) reserve a spot and (b) provide the $20 per person.
Yes we know it is a little late to announce this but of course Hurricane Gustav made it difficult to advertise, print forms, and so on. We hope as many internationals as possible can come!
Here is the registration form in DOC and PDF formats. You can complete a form and send it to rwright AT ubc-br DOT org.
