Happy October UPC Families!

First, a big shout out to the UPC Youth for their amazing work on Overflow the Cart Sunday and to all the families who donated food to Micah 6 and UPLift! The turn out was incredible and y'all made a great team. Thank you for your service to our neighbors in need!

Also, thanks to the Norman and Thorp families for participating in our Children at the Lord's Table workshop! We look forward to welcoming Wyatt, Harper, Hawk, and Joseph to the table this coming World Communion Sunday, October 7.

Way to go, Laudate Children's Choir ! Your Introit was beautiful this past Sunday and a wonderful message of welcome to the entire congregation. Thanks to the children who are a part of Laudate and to our Laudate director, Austin Bradley for your ministry of music and hospitality!
