Your help is needed!! During blood shortages (like the one we are currently facing), essential medical procedures may be delayed. Distributions to hospitals of some of the most transfused blood types are being limited now. Help provide timely access to lifesaving transfusions for patients. Make your appointment at rcblood.org/donate.
Want to learn how to help make quilts for foster kids going to Royal Family Kids Camp? This is your opportunity. For more information contact Andrea Melius (or email us).
In the elementary and middle school years, children often express a desire to be baptized. Because we want to partner with you in leading your child spiritually, you and your student are invited to attend Baptism Conversations. To find out more or to register call the church office (308-532-7448), email us, or contact Kristi Patterson.
Registration details coming soon!
For anyone who has experienced loss (of any kind) and/or finds this Christmas season to be one of sorrow, we will take an hour to both acknowledge our grief and seek the comfort and peace of Christ. For more info, go to npberean.org/blue-christmas.
We will meet on Sunday at the following times: 9:15 a.m., 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 4:30 p.m. Please choose one gathering, as both morning and afternoon will have the same content. For details, click here.
Bring a favorite to share! Pick up cards in the foyer to share why these cookies are special to you and the recipe (if applicable), then bring cards and cookies to the 252 Room on Christmas Eve 30 min. before whichever gathering you’ll attend.
We will be taking down our Christmas décor on 1/3, from 9 a.m -12 p.m. (putting away smaller décor) and from 1-4 p.m. (putting away large décor). If you can help, please email Robyn – even if it’s for an hour or two.
As we begin 2024, our need for God seems as obvious as ever – we can do nothing apart from him! So we’re joining together as a church family to kick off the new year with 21 days of prayer and fasting. Find out more by picking up the handout at the table in the foyer or online at npberean.org/21days.
We’re making a few changes to our usual schedule for special events and to give time for our church family, volunteers, and staff to rest and connect with their families:
Large gatherings:
Sun. 12/31 – no 8 a.m. gathering
Sola (grades 6-12):
no Sola Wed. 12/20, 12/27, or 1/3
Kids Connect (infant-grade 6): No Kids Connect Sun. 12/24 or 12/31 – unstaffed nursery with video livestream available
Office: Closed Mon. 12/25 and 1/1
Shoeboxes should be placed in the foyer by Sunday, November 12. If you forgot yours, they can still be brought into the church office, during office hours Monday and Tuesday. It’s also not too late to build a shoebox online at samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/.
