God’s Mission:
Setting things right, one heart at a time.
Isaiah 42.1-4, the MSG Bible
Our Mission:
Everyday people helping people to follow Jesus Christ . . . every day.
Our Values:
Biblical - Unfinished
-
Missions
-
Unity
- Acceptance
It takes many people to make our worship and fellowship experience great for us and our guests! We are always in need of more
people serving one another. Below is a list of ways you can serve, all
of which are really needed at this time. If you can help fill any of
these roles, please sign up at the Information Desk before you leave
today.
Cleaning Teams:
 1 - 2 teams (and more if possible) to replace people who are
already doing multiple things in the church.
 Helping once every 6 weeks (depending on the number of teams
we have).
 Teams consist of four or more people and require Friday or Saturday clean up and also Sunday after church clean up (upstairs
and downstairs).
 Individuals will be assigned to teams. What a great way to get
to know more people!
Information Booth:
2 people to help at the information booth one Sunday a month.
Greeters:
2 people serving one Sunday a month.
The more help we can get in each area the less everyone has to do.
If you have questions about any of the above positions, contact Bill
Kruse at 402.525.7175 or Sheryl Kruse at 402.525.5979, or ask at the
desk.
We NEED Gift Cards!
Our BridgeKids in Kindergarten - 5th
Grade have begun working hard to
learn ALL the books of the Bible—
in order! They started with the New
Testament and have learned the
first eight books (some have gone
beyond this).
We would like to reward their hard
work with prizes as a little incentive. If you can, please pick up some $5 - $10 gift cards to
places of your choice and put them in the basket available at
the Children's Check-in table. Students will receive a prize
when they have learned the books in order for the New Testament, and also when they have memorized them in order
for the Old Testament.
Most of the kids are very excited about this! Be sure to ask
them if they know their Bible books! Feel free to join us if
you need a refresher too! Questions? Contact staff person
Kristy Horstman.
Attention Parents of
Kindergarten - 5th Graders:
Please be sure to take home a
“MAKE IT STICK” page from the
Check-In table for ways that
you can discuss the lesson at
home. You are your child’s
most important teacher!
Pick it up from the Children’s
Check-in table before you leave
today!
Mission Trip

Uganda!
The 2015 Uganda Team is now
forming. Contact Steve Burns at
steveburns.neb@gmail.com
or at 402.310.2403 if you’re
interested in serving in
Uganda this May.
For Women Only!
We currently have a hold on 50 tickets for this
year’s Women of Faith here in Lincoln. The theme
this year is “Loved.” The dates are Friday & Saturday, August 28 & 29, 2015, at the Pinnacle Bank
Arena. The event starts on Friday evening, and
ends late afternoon on Saturday.
Tickets are $85 each at this time (for the hold).
This is $30 cheaper than they will be later in the
year. AND, this is their farewell tour! If you’d like
to go, but the cost is an issue, scholarships are
available. Call the church office for info.
All sign-ups and ticket payments are needed by
Sunday, February 8th as we cannot secure the tickets at this price without paying for them early.
To sign up, stop at the Information Desk before
you leave today! Consider bringing a friend, a
daughter, a mother, a neighbor, a co-worker (or
two) with you—they won’t be able to thank you
enough for taking them!
M-mmmm Good!
