Full speed ahead

-Important Reminders:  11:30 Ushers-Please make sure all collection boxes are emptied and the contents put in the Financial office.  If you don't know where the collection box key is, just ask someone on staff. (I'm usually at the front desk)

-Please make sure all blue and white information cards also make it back to the Financial office.

As We turn our calendar pages to August it seems like the pace picks up a great deal around UCUMC!
Baptism event on Saturday, August 18.  We’re offering baptism by “immersion” (in an outdoor pool here on the campus). Let people know they can contact Pastor Tim if they are interested at TimFarrell@ucumc.net.

If baptism at UCUMC is new for them or their family, they can  plan to attend a brief baptismal meeting on August 12 at 11:30 am with Pastor Tim. He’ll go over what we believe about baptism and answer and questions people may have.
