How can we get ready for the next steps God has for us as a church? In 2021, we’re committing to grow, share, and connect. Find out more and take your next step at npberean.org/getting-ready.
Update for those interested in sharing financially: Our $300k facility debt (as of campaign launch, 11/15/2020) is now down to $150k (as of 3/14/2021) – praise the Lord! We’d love to have the facility expansion paid off and seed money for what He has next, such as church planting or greater investment in benevolence opportunities in our community. If you’re committed to Getting Ready financially, please be sure you’ve filled out a commitment card at npberean.org/grgive to help us with planning and communications.
The church is often described as a body, in which the people who make up the body play different parts (1 Cor. 12:12-31). Each of you is valued and has something to contribute to our local church! Would you consider exploring where you can share your time and talents? Some of our highest-priority opportunities right now are: Kids Connect, tech & sound, safety, Online Church Hosts, and others to help facilitate our online church experience. Contact Robyn Huffman (or email us) to get help in taking your next step.
Would you like to be part of a short-term mission trip that helps the foster children in Lincoln County? Then Royal Family Kids Camp is for you.

If you can’t commit to a whole week, there are many other ways to get involved in this life-changing ministry. You must be 18 to serve without a parent. If you are interested or have questions, please see us at the foyer table or text 308-660-9025.
In the foyer, between the coatrack and restrooms, we have a few cubbies for our main lost and found. We’ll be donating or discarding any unclaimed items on Monday, 2/1. Please stop by today to check for any items that belong to you!

January is National Blood Donor Month. Donors of all blood types are urged to give now to help the Red Cross maintain the blood supply. The Red Cross is testing blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies. As part of this effort, plasma from standard blood donations that test positive for COVID-19 antibodies may now help current coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions. Go to RedCrossblood.org to sign up to donate.
