Please make sure that you have a code to disarm the alarm if you unlock the church on the weekend. If you have a key, you should have a code. If you hear a high-pitched beeping when you enter the church, you will need to immediately disarm the alarm. There is a key pad by the kitchen door and another on the wall by the restrooms. We have had several false alarms on the weekends. If you don’t know your code, please contact the office to get a code before you use your key again.

Office number is 402-493-2946.

If you forget to turn off the alarm and it goes off, enter your code to shut off the alarm and please go to the phone in the kitchen and wait for the call center to call, give them your name and code and instruct them to not dispatch the police We will eventually be charged for the false alarms when the police are dispatched. Thanks!

Thank you to everyone (more than 50 people) who attended and participated in the Table Grace Food Truck parking lot summer fest at Lord of Love. It was a beautiful evening, the food was delicious and best of all, the live conversation and smiles with community spirit was wonderful to hear and see! A special thank you to Claudia Rowen and her friend for providing live music.

Also, thanks to Mary Lou for using her Thrivent account to obtain the initial funds required to schedule the truck and to Brian Lund for setting up the microphone and speakers and taped music. Matt Weber of Table Grace Ministries was very appreciate of the generosity of everyone as he indicated about $1200.00 in donations.
