Sunday School at 9 am
Adult Sunday School Class in Boardroom
How to Be Rich by Andy Stanley
A DVD series by Andy Stanley that examines what God has to say about how
we manage the resources He has blessed us with.
Sunday mornings at 8:45 am.
Adult Sunday School Class in the Overflow Room
Do you want to have a fuller understanding of what we, as evangelical
Christians believe, and how that can, and should, impact our daily lives? What
does the whole Bible teach us today? UBC is starting an introductory class on
Systematic Theology and reviewing various biblical doctrines. Knowing what
we believe is part of the great commission (Matt.28:19-20) to "....teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you." The framework basis of the
class will be Dr. Wayne Grudem's Introduction to Systematic Theology. Randy
Matthys and Dr. John Howarth will be leading. Topics such as "The Word of
God" and "Canon of Scripture". If God has been prompting you to learn more
of what you believe, then this is the class for you !
Children’s Sunday School in the Lower Hall
Do you want to learn more about Paul and his miraculous conversion? Come
to our children’s Sunday School classes and engage in learning more about
Paul and how his life can impact ours. We would love to study God’s Word
with you!
Blizzard Update & Prayer Request
January 30th - February 1st
As the students come together in the Greater Community
of Believers from across Ontario and Quebec we ask you to
pray for the following things:
 Safety & good health
 Open hearts, eyes and attitudes
 For drivers, leaders, Pastors, CBOQ staff, the students, worship
leaders and speakers
 Seeds to be planted and God’s will to be done
 An understanding for the students that they were created to belong,
build their lives on His foundation, connect with others and grow in
relationships and their faith
UBC, thank you for your faithfulness.
Mission News
Morningstar (Beijing, China) Team
A team of ladies will be travelling to Beijing, China on February 16th and
returning March 1st. Morningstar Family Home is a small foster home in
Beijing that cares for critically ill orphans, primarily with heart defects. The
team will provide loving care to these precious children as the regular staff at
Morningstar will travel to their homes for the Chinese New Year holiday.
The team is collecting supplies to take with them. If you would like to
donate, there will be a donation box near the mailboxes until February 8th.
Supplies for babies:
diaper cream
liquid multi vitamins
vitamin k
eczema lotion
fever reducer (liquid)
Aquafor - vaseline like
coconut oil
crib sheets
Nuk soother
bottles and nipples
hand sanitizer
The team would really like to take special gifts for the nannies. They have
had a very difficult year with the passing of one baby before Christmas and
another going to hospice last week because nothing more could be done.
Many babies have left this past year to go to their forever homes and even
though this is a good thing, it is still very difficult for the nannies. There are
12 nannies.
Some gift ideas for Nannies are:
small - medium tops
makeup
body lotion
face cream
lipstick
gloves
scarves
socks
good water bottles
reusable grocery bag
We would also like to take a double stroller with us if anyone happens to have
one in excellent used condition that they would like to donate!
Also, the house manager at Morningstar, Jenny, would like gospel tracts to
hand out if anyone would like to help in this way.
If you have any questions, please call Kimberly at 905-852-4151
Thank you so much,
Kim Miller and the Morningstar team
CORRECTION - The Morningstar China Team will be commissioned during
the worship service on February 15th.
Life Group News
Our Life Group Ministry Needs YOU!
We are looking for a few people who are passionate about God’s Word and
the amazing ministry of Life Groups. If you love to see God’s Word studied,
applied and lived out in the context of a loving community of caring disciples
and if you would like to join a team that helps to spearhead this ministry at
UBC, we want to hear from you. We need a few individuals who can support
this vital ministry “behind the scenes” with vision and administrative support.
If you feel God moving you in this direction please speak to Pastor Dale or
Carol McTaggart. And if you are interested to join a Life Group, just let us
