Church Photo Directory is Coming!

It’s a good time to see everyone again in our 2022 Church Photo Directory. Photos of family units of any size and shape are welcome to be part of the new directory! Single people, couples, extended families and traditional families are all invited to get a picture taken 

Frequently Asked Questions

When are the dates for photos?

Photos will be taken October 11-15 and October 18-22. Times are varied depending upon the day, but we try to accommodate everyone!

Where are the photos taken?

Photos will be taken in our Chapel here on Wright Street. There is an option to send in a portrait if you’re not able to have your photo taken, but still want to be part of the directory.

How do I sign up for time for my photo to be taken?

You can always sign-up on-line (see instructions below), and we will have sign ups available after worship on various weeks throughout the sign-up period. The first one is the week of August 27-28, and August 31st! Get your calendars out and start gathering the family together!

Wednesday L.I.F.E. Night Women's Bible Study

“In a trembling, unsteady world, how do you gain stability, find peace, and learn to trust God!”

For answers to these questions and more, join with other women on L.I.F.E. Night Wednesdays at 5:15 in the church library as they participate in the video Bible study, “Unshakable Hope” by Max Lucado.  The stories of men and women in the Bible were different, but the theme was the same: they were People of the Promise.  Like them, we can also build our lives on God’s promises, and trust Him to keep them.  

A study guide will also be available for personal study and reflection, video notes, and group discussion.  The first session will be Wednesday, August 24th at 5:15.

To register for this Bible study, email Susie Pinquoch at spinquoch@gpcom.net or call (402) 426-8182.

Attention! SCAM ALERT

It has come to my attention that people are asking for money and/or gift cards using my name or email. Please know that I will never ask you for money or gifts cards or anything using electronic means. I will ask you in person, because there are many legitimate needs, and so many of you want to help. I appreciate the generosity of this congregation, and work to maintain its integrity. I apologize to those affected by such scams as such activity denies our giftedness from God.

Peace,

Pastor Scott
