1850-2025: 175 years of ubc!
Hello Friends:
We would love to see you as we celebrate the 175th anniversary of University Baptist Church! If you can't attend in person, join us by livestream on Sunday mornings from 10-11am. We would also appreciate it if you write a memory of UBC and send it to us at marketing@ubcmn.org or to our mailing address.
We look forward to seeing many of you in the coming months to share the joy of UBC's legacy and God's continuing revelation.
Blessings and peace,
Pastor Doug Donley and the 175th Anniversary Committee
