During the Month of February, Sunday services will reflect some of the teachings and wisdom of Rev. Johnnie Colmon, a powerful and inspiring black leader of the New Thought Movement.

On February 23, 2020, we will have our Soul Food Sunday Celebration and we invite you to bring in a dish to share  that represents your cultural heritage.

Several individuals will be sharing poems and writings written by black artists that have inspired them in their lives.

Paula Philips will be adorning our fellowship area and sanctuary with her mother’s, Mary Philips, paintings.  Each precious work of art will be tagged with a suggested love offering price with all proceeds going to UBTS. It is Paula’s desire to have her mother’s legacy of beauty and creativity spread throughout our community that Mary adored and cherished. 

Annual Membership Meeting January 26th after the service

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the current events of UBTS, nominate and vote on Board of Trustees Candidates for 2020, and vote to approve the 2020 Budget

Financial Business Meeting January 12th after the service

During this meeting the UBTS Board will report on the financial overview of 2019 and present the UBTS budget for 2020

Sunday, December 22nd, 2019

Let us get into the Christmas Spirit by joining in song and rocking around the Christmas tree during the Sunday service on December 22nd at 11 a.m.   The Jazz and Jingle extravaganza is a gift to our community, however, we will still take our normal Sunday love offering collection.  Christmas cookies and refreshments will be served during intermission and at the end of the performance, so bring your appetites and not forget your jingle bells!

Love,
