It was special to see 2 high school and 23 University graduates grace our stage in May and then celebrate three College friends getting baptized together as their last experience at OSU. God has been good to us at UHBC that we get to observe and participate in so many special things.

Plan now to serve on Saturday August 15th for our FREE Garage Sale - where we as a congregation can bring items appropriate for furnishing out an apartment with the goal of helping International Students and others in our community with items that are in good shape and can be used by someone else.  So this summer, take some time to look around your home, your garage, that storage shed you are paying for, and plan to bring items Friday afternoon August 14th and early August 15th then bring a truck, a smile, and help us give all of our items away to those who need them and probably come to OSU without anything besides a suitcase.  This is ONE way we can be known for what we love and not for what we hate.

Finally, let me encourage each of us to carve out time each week for a mini-sabbath.  A time when you can rest and relax as a family and spend a little extra time with God.  It could be a few minutes, or hours, or a day, but if we can slow down long enough to communicate with God we might be surprised at what He tells us to do and how to change.  So take a long walk, a drive in the country, go fishing, read a book on a blanket, or even spend some time reading Scripture and praying to God and lets enjoy some rest this summer with God while the world around is preoccupied with others things.

It’s a joy to serve with you at UHBC!

SAY HELLO TO OUR 2026-2027 INTERNS
Congratulations on the 2026-2027 Joyce Sibley Endowment Scholarship recipients who will be our University Interns for next school year, Jaylan Beckley and Jack Morris.

Jaylan will be a Sophomore majoring in Nursing and is involved with FCA. He is passionate about growing in his faith, pickleball, and connecting with people and loves to serve the Lord. Jack served with our youth last year at UHBC and is active in FCA. His desire is to go into full-time ministry after college.

Pray for these two students this summer and as they prepared to help us as a church make an impact on the campus of Oklahoma State University.

FEEDING OUR LOCAL HEROES
One way we tried to encourage those in our community in May was to provide lunch for nearly 100 officers and detectives of the Stillwater and OSU police departments through their chaplain Gary Kennedy. Pastor Rodney and Kirk Turner loaded up a ton of food and fed the men and women of the force that protect and serve our community. Your generous gifts have allowed us to be gracious to those in our community!

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
