Family Life Conferences – “A Weekend to Remember” (April 20-22, Boise)
These conferences are not a large counseling session and you will not be asked to participate in small groups. Rather, you will receive marriage-changing principles that you can take home and apply to your daily lives that will strengthen your marriage.
For any more details or questions call Mike Veit at 860-4990 or check out this web site at http://www.familylife.com/site/c.dnJHKLNnFoG/b.3204559/k.CA50/Events.htm
“Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart”
Luke 18:1
For the past week I have had a condensed version of the above verse on my desk at church. My version simply reads, “Pray and don’t lose heart”. I have had it there to daily remind me of a great truth taught by our Lord Jesus and addressing something that we are all tempted to do in our Christian lives which is to “lose heart”. This is true not only in the area of prayer but also in serving the Lord in various ways and “doing good” (cf. Galatians 6:9). [click to continue…]
New Name: “Coram Deo”
The Men’s Ministry has selected a new name that will hopefully capture our ministry mandate! “Coram Deo” was referred to in a recent sermon by Pastor Greg. The term is Latin meaning “Before The Face Of GOD.” It carries with it the idea of integrity in every aspect of our lives. We need to see ourselves as always under the loving, protective gaze of our Heavenly Father… and live our lives accordingly. For more information about the name and its meaning, please visit: http://www.ligonier.org/blog/what-does-coram-deo-mean/

This is the “official” time of year to express our love and appreciation for our pastors at UBC. Please be thinking of fun and creative ways to bless those that are such a blessing to us. Some ideas include cards, emails, homemade cookies, etc.
The sign-up folders are on the Information Center counter in the foyer. You do not need to sign-up to participate, and more than one person may sign-up on the same day. The calendars are a way to ensure that, hopefully, our pastors are remembered each day of the month of October.
Thank you for joining with us, the Women’s Ministry Team, and taking this opportunity to show our gratitude for the men who serve the Lord and our church family so lovingly and faithfully.

The Women’s Ministry Team welcomes our two newest team members, Susan Carter and Sharee McMahon!!
We are so very excited that Susan will be stepping in as the head of the Celebration Team. This is the group that hosts the annual Ladies Luncheon in the spring, craft workshops, cooking classes, and other events that allow the women at UBC to gather together for fun and fellowship. The team currently consists of Patti Crouch, Cynthia Goldgrabe, and Angela Rash, but they are looking for more ladies that would like to join them as they serve and minister to the women at Ustick.
Sharee McMahon has graciously volunteered to take on the ministry of sending wedding and baby gift cards. The WM acknowledges weddings and babies (first born or first born since attending UBC) with a gift card to Bed, Bath and Beyond, or to Babies R Us.
We praise God for His faithfulness to send workers for the harvest!!
If you are not currently attending any of our Adult Sunday School Classes, then we would like to invite you and encourage you to join us! Here are some really great classes that provide excellent biblical teaching and wonderful fellowship! Come “grow in the Lord” with us!

We will be having our Ministry Fair again this year and hope you will be a part of it! The theme will be… “The Harvest is Plentiful…”. It is a real FUN time that we’ll be having together as we promote our church’s variety of ministries! We’ll be covering two weekends so you can leave your booths set up during the week in between. It is a GREAT way to connect with what is happening here at UBC. It is also a great way to help serve with some of the dynamic ministries that will be represented at this year’s Ministry Fair. More to come next month!
A new series for Jr/Sr High starts Sunday, May 8 in the youth room during the Sunday school hour. Parents are invited to attend this exciting DVD study from the makers of the Truth Project.
