On the Sundays without Chat & Chew, Coffee, Tea, and other Beverages are available for the post-service fellowship.
Ladies' Luncheons
The UPB Ladies' Luncheons occur on the 2nd Friday of each month. These luncheons provide women of all ages a gathering opportunity to socialize and provide one another moral support.
Ladies' Night Out
Ladies' Night out takes place on the 4th Thursday of each month, typically at a local restaurant. This fellowship opportunity enables women of all ages to decompress from the challenges of daily life, share developments in their lives, and collectively inspire one another.
Men's Breakfasts
The UPB Men's Breakfasts occur on the 4th Thursday of each month. These breakfasts allow men to assemble to jointly give thanks to God, and strengthen their relationships with one another. This re-fueling process gives them the spiritual energy to approach the day ahead.
Men's Night Out
Men's Night out takes place at a local restaurant on the 3rd Thursday of each month. This outing provides an atmosphere of relaxation and camaraderie. The setting also affords men an opportunity to discuss various current events and freely order nutritionally-deficient menu items.
Kick-off Sunday
Each September, UPB spends a Sunday afternoon to celebrate the kick-off of the new church year. Following the Sunday service, UPB has a cookout and a festival complete with games and music. Everyone in the community is invited to participate in the celebration.
