Please note the special activities we have during Holy Week.

Thursday April 01 - Maundy Thursday. “Big sanctuary” at 7:00 p.m. I strongly encourage people to come to the Maundy Thursday worship time if they can.

Different schedule and Family Fun Day this Sunday, March 14

Please remember that we have a different schedule for our Sunday morning activities this Sunday, March 14. Basically everything will be one hour earlier:

  • Bible study at 9:20 a.m.
  • Worship gathering at 10:30 a.m.
  • Church bus picks up starting at Edward Gay at 9:00 a.m.

The reason is because this Sunday we encourage you to join us for Family Fun Day! After worship both Church of the Nations and University Baptist Church will have a picnic lunch. Games and small prizes for children. And a few games for older children and adults as well. Easter egg hunts. And music and entertainment while we eat.

(Church of the Nations normally helps prepare the lunches. So we will have a short worship time and then some of us will go to the kitchen and put food into boxes for the people.)
