Live Stream  Worship Bulletin

GOD WITH US – Christmas is a time for reflecting. We think of holidays past and the one that’s upon us. As you hear the messages of God With Us, the Advent 2020 devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries & the Lutheran Laymens’ League, consider the many ways that God is present in your life—through His Word, your loved ones, the fellowship of believers, Holy Communion, and more. His love for us is personal. He proved that in a Bethlehem manger—God’s only Son born for all mankind, so that through the Christ Child we might know life with Him forevermore. Please join us beginning on Sunday, November 29th at 10:00 am.

We met Eddie the Comfort Dog and his handlers Don and Connie on Sunday, September 13.  They talked to the kids and Bible Study about the service that comfort dogs provide. This is my fourth or fifth attempt to get Eddie to visit--he is a very busy dog! The presentation was very interesting and a great service to many people.

I could still use another teacher to help co-teach for the Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd age class, please text me at 402-694-8591 if you think you could help teach this year.

Thank you for all the snack donations! I know this kids love this and many of you were very generous with your donations and so thank you once again for your generosity!  Feel free to call or text me with any care or concerns! Thanks! Lacey Panko

Board of Elders have choen to send the SPECIAL MISSIONS OFFERING collected on October 25th to support Missionary Barb Rebentisch, our Fall Mission Speaker, and her ongoing work to translate and interpret the Bible into Mandarin Chinese in Taiwan. “105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

Barbara Rebentisch serves in Taiwan, based in ChiaYi. In this role, she translates and interprets between Mandarin and English to facilitate the communication of the Gospel in this part of the world. In particular, Barb is daily and regularly involved in the ongoing work to develop faithful resources in the Chinese language, intended to serve the entire Chinese-speaking world, both at home and abroad. Her service builds relationships with the community and leaders, sharing the Gospel with them through the written and spoken Word, and helping them to do the same with their neighbors. Barbara’s hometown is Paullina, Iowa, where she attended Zion Lutheran Church. She currently is a member of King of Kings Lutheran Church in Roseville, Minn. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Concordia University Nebraska, Seward. She earned her master’s degree from Doane University in Crete, Neb. Her hobbies include reading, music, walking, chatting with friends and watching crime dramas. Over the years, Barbara has been heavily involved in ministry and service to the people of Taiwan. She helped with youth ministry, was an evangelistic social worker, worked in counseling services and taught English as a Second Language (ESL) classes in various cities throughout this country. In addition, she worked as a clinical supervisor for Lighted Path Recovery Services and as a counselor in the State of Nebraska Corrections system. Pray for Barbara as she serves in Taiwan. Let us give thanks to God that Barbara is serving His children in this part of the world.
