Thursday Announcements-July 25, 2024 The elevator for the downstairs is out of order. A repairman has been called. We’ll keep you posted, when it is ready to go again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Message from Bishop Barker My Dear DioNeb Friends and Family – Earlier today, the House of Bishops elected The Rt. Rev. Sean Rowe to serve as the 28th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, bringing to a close the discernment journey that we’ve been on together for the past many months. While it’s hard to lose an election, I have every confidence that the Holy Spirit led the way as the bishops of the church did their work, and I look forward to serving with and supporting our new PB in the years to come! I am so grateful to all of you for the trust and support you’ve offered me during this time of discernment. I’ve been encouraged, prayed, and cared for as in no other time of my life. I will return to Nebraska with a full and thankful heart, both for the honor of having contributed to the process of selecting our new Presiding Bishop and for the grace of coming home to a community that I cherish and a ministry that I love. I’m likewise looking forward to serving with and supporting all of you as we continue to make our way into becoming the Church that Christ calls us to be. Thank you again for your confidence in me and for your thoughtful encouragement over these past months. I look forward to seeing you soon in DioNeb! Faithfully Yours in Christ – + Bishop Barker ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
