FATHER MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS
  1. Oh my gosh! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve already! The church is decorated beautifully and ready for a special celebration. The music will be familiar and wonderful. I know COVID is still a real concern and I strongly encourage everyone to take all the precautions necessary to stay safe and healthy. But if you are comfortable, I would love to have you join in this Christmas celebrating with old and new friends and singing (masked) our favorite Christmas Carols! Small gift bags for the kiddos and a Children’s Sermon at the 5:00 P.M. Early Service. More solemn Late Service with incense at 10:30 P.M.      In-person or online, join your church family on this most holy and sacred night​.
  2. **NOTE –THE 5:00 P.M. IS THE ONE THAT WILL BE LIVESTREAMED** 
  3. This probably goes without saying, but there will also be regular worship services this Sunday at 8:00 and 10:00 A.M. J 
  4. The office will be closed next week, although you might find a church mouse or two in the building making sure things don’t fall apart. If you have a pastoral need or emergency, call my cell at 308-765-1535. 
  5. Special thanks to Wednesday Sack Lunch volunteers Santana Tamarak and Barb Williams who showed up last week and braved the coldest wind I have ever experienced to hand our lunches to needy folks in the community. Also, to Sarah and Emma Schaaf, who ran our December Laundry Love offering. Emma is our youngest volunteer, and in addition to her work with Laundry Love serves regularly as an Acolyte. I am just amazed at the level of support across all ages for the work and ministry of this church! I honestly don’t believe there is another church like this in the entire diocese. 
​Search Committee Update:  The search committee has been working to finalize the church profile.   It has the earned stamp of approval from Cannon Liz who said it “tells the story of our church in a beautiful way.”  This profile is the “advertisement” for a prospective new rector.  It will be posted after the new year.  The search committee thanks all of you for your help in gathering information and for the continued prayers guiding our endeavor.
