Celebration Sunday
Sunday, November 21, 2021
This week, we didn’t have a traditional sermon. Instead, we took some time to celebrate the step of baptism in the lives of many UBC folks, remember Christ through sharing communion together, and look ahead to see what God is starting to unveil through the Make Him Known initiative.
