Looking for Coffee? Our Sunday morning coffee station is now located outside the Gallery, in the hallway across from the church office. UBC also has a new brew! Coffee is being purchased from Equal Exchange which works directly with farmers in a fair trade practice. A portion of our coffee purchases support the Baptist Peace Fellowship. New, more earth-friendly cups are also available at our coffee station. Even more reason to enjoy a cup of coffee at UBC!
First Sunday Fellowship will be held on Sunday, November 30, following Hanging of the Green. (Yes, we know this is not the “First” Sunday. So, please do not come to church on Sunday, December 7, with an empty stomach. You will be disappointed!)
