Time for some Halloween fun at choir! This Sunday, October 26, the Junior and Children's Choirs are invited to wear their Halloween costumes to choir rehearsal. The Children's Choir will rehearse their anthems and play some Halloween games during rehearsal. Following their rehearsal, the Children's Choir will have a snack together in the Fellowship Hall.
The Junior Choir will rehearse from 4:15 - 4:55 p.m., then have a pizza dinner in the Fellowship and carpool to Mardi Gras Bowling Center for an hour of bowling. All God's Children Got A Place in the Choir! Join us!
Change of rehearsal time for Youth Choir: This Sunday, the Youth Choir will rehearse from 3 - 3:45 p.m. in Vance Barron Hall. The youth are invited to go to the Corn Maze with PYC from 12 - 3 p.m., so we've changed our rehearsal time to make it easier on choir and PYC families for pick up. See you at rehearsal. We have lots of music to learn!

Capital Campaign Construction Update
|
This Sunday, worship will take place in the Sanctuary.
Due to construction, the church offices and upper level classrooms are not accessible at this time.
As we strive to stay flexible and patient during construction, we're counting on our members to do so as well! Thank you!
If you'd like to see how the construction is coming along, please click here to see pictures on the UPC Facebook page. Note you don't need to have a Facebook account to view the photos.

Parking During Construction
| |
During the week, we'll need to have parking spots set aside for the construction crew and their materials. All of the middle parking spaces in the Robertson Lane lot will be reserved Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
There will be a few visitor spots available next to the church building in the afternoon, but those will be the only non-reserved parking spots during construction. If you need to come to the church during the day, please plan to park in the parking deck at 150 East Rosemary St. or call in advance to see if there are any other spots available.
|
We look forward to worshiping with you!
Grace and Peace, University Presbyterian Church |
