Do you want a tangible way to serve the families of North Platte directly? Do you desire an opportunity to work alongside others from the community who might not know Jesus? The North Platte Community Build Playground will be building a one-of-a-kind, unique to North Platte, playground September 15-19 at Centennial Park. This playground is especially designed to serve children with special needs. They are looking for skilled and unskilled construction laborers and childcare help. Contact Tauni Morris (or email us) for more info, or get details and sign up for a specific shift at www.webuildnp.org.

God’s Remnant ministry invites the Church in North Platte to “Unify to Beautify” – a chance to get involved in cleaning our community. Directors will be present at the gazebo throughout the cleanup. Just bring yourself. Supplies will be provided. Lunch, fellowship, and music provided following the cleanup. For questions please contact Kent Hanson (or email us).
One of God’s greatest gifts to humans is the ability to connect and do life with one another. It is our heart at Berean that each person would find a group of people to gather with around Word, prayer, and community. One way of doing that is to get connected in a Grow Group, and here is your chance! Come meet different Grow Group leaders, with our prayer being that you would find a place to connect you and your family. For more information about Grow Groups, reach out to Brandon Marchetti (or email us) or visit npberean.org/grow-groups.
Discover your next step in connecting to God and others. Meet new people. Dive a little deeper into the heart of what happens at Berean in these two sessions. RSVP at www.tinyurl.com/TAStep.

Quick, how many Churches are in North Platte? Remember – just one – Jesus Christ’s Church! In the recent past we’ve sought to embody this through Good Friday gatherings with New Life, The Rock, and Two Rivers. Now we have an opportunity to partner with another local church.
It is an understatement to say that Berean and Bethel have had an intertwined history. Over decades, many people have moved between the two churches – honestly, sometimes for less than biblical reasons. With the arrival of Bethel’s new pastor (Pastor Geoff), he and Pastor John (and the elder teams of both churches) agree that Bethel and Berean working together is a healthy reality for North Platte and Lincoln County. As a first step we’re planning to partner together on the weekend of July 24/25. Here are the details:
Serve Saturday is an opportunity for Berean and Bethel Churches to join together to love our community through serving our city and community non-profits. UPDATE: Instead of meeting at Ace, just move slightly west and join us in front of the former ALCO building at 9a where we’ll sign up for projects, meet our teams, and plan to be on the job sites near 9:30. Bag lunches will be delivered to the work site and all jobs will end at or before 1p. Would you please consider investing a half day to partner with Bethel and serve our community?
Job opportunities will include:
The City of North Platte – mulching (please bring rakes, shovels, and wheelbarrows, if you have them!)
The Connection – organize pantry and children’s area
Deborah’s Legacy – landscaping, painting indoors and outdoors
Fresh Start – clean out bus barn (requires heavy lifting)
Hope Embraced – mend a fence, painting and cleaning inside
Please note: for these projects, it’s best to have ages middle school and up.
In conjunction with Serve Saturday, we’ll be opening a special fund for anyone who would like to give beyond regular offerings. All gifts marked “Share Sunday” will be given to the North Platte Public School District Student Services which exists to serve at-risk students.
