Have a Heart for Missions
Annual Offering
It’s time once again for our annual offering to
assist members of the Nine Mile Association
in taking a mission trip. This is our 7th year
of gathering funds for this purpose. Over
these past seven years this offering has assisted association members to participate in
mission trips all over the world.
Special envelopes will be provided or just
indicate donation for “Have a Heart” on
check.
GUM DROP, NFP
News
They have been back to packing bags
for 6 months now, averaging 1,400 bags
a week. They have added Unity Point
School and the Boy’s and Girls Club
both out of Carbondale this year. They
still have 3 more school districts wanting to come aboard and be a part of the
Gum Drop family.
Last school year they provided
36,934 meals.
How can we help?
Needed items: pudding packs,
oatmeal, granola bars, fruit cups,
Vienna sausages, ramen noodles and
small microwavable meals (or monetary
donation).
Please consider purchasing needed supplies and bringing to UBC. We have a box
outside the sanctuary for collection.
“Our purpose at University Baptist Church is to show Christ’s love to the
local and global community through worship, fellowship & ministry.”
Weekly Calendar:
NEWSLETTER OF THE UNIVERSITY BAPTIST CHURCH - FEBRUARY 1, 2015 VOL. 51 NO. 3
As you read this article we will be heading into the month of
February. February is known for many things. We will have the
big football finale of the Super Bowl and as many feast sitting
around the TV watching the game we will be reminded of those
who have no food to feast on. So, even if you did not get to
church to give to the SOUPER bowl you can do so at any time.
This money will go to Good Samaritan Ministries Food Bank housed here at
UBC. It is a time for us to reflect upon our relationship with the poor.
February is also Black History month. It is a good time for us to celebrate the great strides we have made in relationships among our races but take
note of the reality that the race is not run. As always we can contemplate how
our own activities will move us forward as we reflect upon our relationship
with other races.
February is also Valentine’s Day. A day card makers and chocolate
and flower vendors live for. It is a great time for us to reflect upon our relationships with those close to us.
This year February also has Ash Wednesday in it. This is the beginning of Lent as we make a spiritual journey toward Easter Sunday.
As part of this spiritual journey we will be doing our Bible Study using
the book, “Who Is This Man?” The subtitles is: “The unpredictable Impact of
the Inescapable Jesus.” The author, John Ortberg, reminds us that Jesus was
not just a historical person who lived more than 2000 years ago but he IS the
person who continues to impact the world in ways that no other person has
or does. In light of that we are invited to examine our relationship with God
who comes to us in Jesus Christ.
February is the shortest month of the year and yet this year it provides us the opportunity to examine many vital relationships in our lives.
