Our final set of Questions That Matter explores the nature of doubt. Not disbelief, but the place where we can dig deep into the hard stuff at the edge of faith. Only 2 left! What do you think is next?

Phase 2 Work Day April 25th, DUE TO THE WEATHER!!!!-CHANGE OF DATE!!!

 

The next phase of our important work at the Potters field site at the Blair cemetery will be taking place this spring. In the next few weeks we'll have another round of tree work by Steve Hytrek of NuView landscaping that will hopefully open up the entire site to the northern boundary. On Saturday, April 25th, we will begin the process of planting ground cover to hold up at the bank on the South side of the site, where there has been erosion over the years. With thanks to Milt and Jane Heinrich for their donation, we will be transplanting Lamium from their home to the cemetery site. We will begin at the Henrich house at 8:00 am with the process of digging up plants and then beginning at 9:00 am we will be planting at the Potters field site. Please bring small hand shovels, a wheelbarrow if you have one, and wear work gloves. There is a sign-up sheet at the welcome center with more details.

8th Grade Faith Projects on Display in April


Please take the time to stop in and view our 8th Grade Confirmation students' Faith Projects! The 14 students created these projects to represent their faith journey as they near the end of their 3 year Confirmation experience and are confirmed on April 26, 2026. The projects are extremely unique and beautiful. Come in and see what our youth can teach US about our God and our faith.

Women’s Bible Study


Ladies…now that the holidays are behind us, are you looking for something to keep the spirit of Christmas alive in your hearts and in your lives?  Come and join other ladies on Friday mornings as we begin a new study about women of the Bible entitled “Brave and Beloved” by Meredith Storrs. 


“Women of the Bible are just like us, but their particular lives, choices, and problems can sometimes feel foreign when we read them today.  Through their stories, we can glimpse a vision of what it means to be a godly woman, but sometimes their experiences leave us scratching our heads.  This Bible study looks specifically at key women in Scripture to discover how their stories upend cultural expectations and reveal the nature and character of the God who created us all.”


This Bible study meets on Friday mornings from 9:15 to 10:45 in the church library.  No need to sign up, just show up.  Questions?  Email Susie Pinquoch at spinquoch@gmail.com or call (402) 533-3735. 

Rushed on Wednesdays?

Let us do the cooking!


The W.O.W. meal menu for Wednesday, April 22nd is Macaroni and Cheese, Fruit, and Dessert!


Join us for the W.O.W. Meal in the Fellowship Hall from

5:30 pm – 6:15 pm prior to Worship Lab.

** Free-will offering **


Come at 5:30 to fuel your body and then stay for Worship Lab at 6:15 to feed your soul.
