University Baptist Church

Presenting...

University Baptist Church, the church that housed me for Fall 2008 in UIUC.

The interior

This is one cool lift. Its the reaaaally old kind that only exists in black and white movies.. and in UBC.

You go into the lift, close the gate, press 'level 2'.

The lift slooooowly makes its way up.

Maximum number of people the lift can hold: 2.

Ahhh... the sanctuary.

See the Christmas tree at the front?

Area of refuge. How apt.

That's Pastor Brett, with his back facing us.

So anyway, this morning's service was my last in UBC. I'll definitely miss the people there. They've been super to us, organizing numerous outings and embracing us as fellow UBC-ers right from the start. I've always felt welcome in UBC. UBC was a blessing, and I am grateful for it. Thank you, Lord.

Corn Maze

The inside of the ticketing area is like a toy store.

Halloween decorations

And Christmas decorations!

What the maze looks like from the top.

What it looks like inside.

Rantoul

A church retreat to Rantoul, organized by University Baptist Church.

This is Janice from NUS FASS.

Pastor Brett drives a kickass convertible! I made him pose in the car for me. The little boy is his older son.

This is his younger son. He loves Janice so much that his mom immediately offered Janice a babysitting job upon hearing that she was looking for a job.

Introducing Julia from Brazil. We found a poster of Pastor Brett on the wall.

A few other members.

This is a s'more! It's made of a roasted marshmallow squashed in between a hersheys square and graham crackers. Yummy! You can make it in the microwave too!

Starting the fire.

A bigger fire.

Had breakfast at century cafe on the morning. The one in pink is Danielle and the one in blue is Britney.

Waiting for our breakfast to come!
