The GOOD, the BAD & the UGLY High Plains Drifter (Judges 11)—The account of the judge Jephthah is a challenging one that pushes the degradation of Israel and her leaders even further into the abyss. Jephthah’s story is a reminder that when we try to worship the Lord in ways not approved by him, ways that are man-made or examples of the worship of other gods, we stand to hurt others and displease God.
Preschool & Children’s Ministries Serving Opportunities—We need adult volunteers! Visit the table in the Fellowship Hall today for more information. See you at the table! UBC en Español is UBC’s Spanish-language worship service that meets in the Chapel during the 9:30 hour every Sunday! All are welcome to join. UBC en Español es el nuevo servicio de adoración en español que se lleva a cabo cada domingo a las 9:30 de la mañana en la capilla. ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
