This 40-day devotional focuses on racial justice and reconciliation. Daily entries are written by Baptists throughout CBF life, some of whom I know. I’ve already spent time with it and gladly recommend it to you. https://issuu.com/fellowship/docs/lenten_2025_devotional_ |

Baptist Women In Ministry released this weekly devotional guide for people interested in “confronting our shadows, acknowledging our privilege and embracing the discomfort of growth. “ I’ve read the introduction and Ash Wednesday pages and am blown away. You want to check this out. https://issuu.com/baptistwomeninministry/docs/seek_discomfort_a_bwim_lenten_devotion_guide |

UBC Around the Community
University Baptist Church congregants hosted an outreach booth at Bloomington Pridefest and Spencer Pride this fall ~ the first Baptist church at either event ever!
Volunteers distributed painted rocks, bookmarks, wristbands, candy, flags, bumper stickers, free hugs, and cold water for people and pets, along with loads of love and acceptance.
Many thanks to Deborah and Julia for their work in putting this together and to all volunteers who took part in the day. We invite you to join us as a volunteer next year, or simply to find our booth and give us a high-five and a Hello!
