From the Pastor’s Desk:
April Newsletter 4/1/2026
I praise thee O’Lord for thy Son of Thy Love; For Jesus who died and is now gone above.
Well by the Lords divine guidance, we have made it through March and into April.
We got our Church Bus all washed and cleaned (thanks to Willie for his labor) and we ‘Young at Heart’ adults loaded up and had a wonderful adventure to; 1st Bluebird Cafe in Stanford to fellowship and enjoy great food together and then we drove on to Joe’s Amish market to shop a bit.
This month is Easter on April 5th, and we are having Sunrise Services at our church at 7:00am and Regular Service at 11:00.
The month of April has some very exciting happenings.
March 28th. We attended VBS Clinic at FBC Richmond 8:30-12:30. “SAY YES to VBS was attended by Lee Ann Hager, John and Riley Hager and myself. We are already excited about our upcoming VBS at UCBC this July beginning on Sunday July 12th at 6:30pm nightly.
Remember: Annie Armstrong Easter Offering coming soon. Our Goal is $1,600.
We have many opportunities to serve here at UCBC, if you feel God leading you in a direction, please feel free to contact me or any deacon to express your calling.
We have some Easter or New Visitor “Welcome Bags” and some nice info material to go in them to hand out as they enter our church.
Also, I’m excited that we are planning on installing a “Digital Screen Display Monitor” outside where the old sign is today for the church and community announcements.
Some other Great News for UCBC is God has given us an awesome vision to look into adding a possible new steel structure adjacent to the sanctuary that to begin with will become our accessible Fellowship Hall and when the time comes flip it to our sanctuary and flip the existing sanctuary to the fellowship hall which also will be ground level and easily accessible to all to enjoy in the near future. Possible structure size 60’ X 84’ X 18’. As always though PRAY, PRAY for Gods guidance all the way as we seek His Leadership.
Michelle and I will be out on Sunday, April 12th as we will be on our 1st Cruise and Brother, Tony Hancock will be in the Pulpit for my absence. Pray for us as we Fly & Sail away in the Caribbean for a few days.
I have been staying busy doing what I love, preaching, counseling, studying the Word, doing weddings and consulting with those grieving loss in the family. I’m doing a double wedding on April 4th. My first at this, but why not?
As I close, check our prayer list and pray daily. As a side note, I also want to mention that we have been talking about a “Praise Worship Team.” I have contacted some worship leaders and they say to get this started we will need anyone who plays an instrument or sings to step forward and see what talent God has placed among our church and go from there, so if you have a talent please come forward and we will work on implementing a Praise Team in our church.
Your Pastor,
