Attached, you will find the Light of Hope flyer for this year. Additionally, I've included the movie flyer with showtimes for the film playing at the Midwest Theater, as well as a link to the official trailer. Inspired by the powerful true story, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible–adopting 77 children–this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America’s most vulnerable can be won. Duration: 2 hr 10 min. Show times Friday 6th: 1:30 & 7:00 Saturday 7th: 1:30 & 7:00 Sunday 8th: 1:30 Members: $4 Non-Members: $8 Children 2-12: $4 Flyers in the Narthax. Movie Trailer https://youtu.be/-nyh9tcGFcI. Light of Hope Event: This event promises to be a meaningful and enriching experience, and we would be thrilled to have your presence there. The flyer contains all the information you need to know. If you would like to attend the Light of Hope dinner, feel free to contact Monica Shambaugh at [email protected] or (308) 641-5374 & she’ll make sure you have a seat. COMMUNITY EVENT When September 5th 5pm – 7pm Where Gering Civic Center 1050 M Street, Gering There is a public health crisis unfolding before us that most adults have no idea is happening. Children are seeing extremely violent pornography online in unprecedented numbers . By the age of 12, 1 in 3 kids have already seen hardcore pornography. Violent pornography is the #1 sex educator of children and it’s creating increasing reports of child-on-child sexual assault, vulnerabilities around extortion, exploitation, a rise in strangulation, and a generation of kids who think sexual violence is normal. Research bears out the correlational and causational relationship between porn use and sexual violence, especially as a child’s brain is particularly susceptible to explicit content. This presentation is eye-opening and will infuse you with hope about how we can mitigate the harm being done to our kids online.

Please remove the labels, wash the bottle/cap, and replace the cap. Bottles can be placed in the designated box in the church narthex. The bottles are shipped to Matthew 25 Ministries in Ohio. This organization sends the bottles to clinics around the world where bottles are not readily available. Thank you for your continued support of this important ministry. The Daughters of the King have changed their regular meeting to 6:00 pm on the second Thursday of the month at the church. They previously met at 1:30 pm. It is our hope that this evening time may work better for prospective members who have daytime commitments.

The next meeting is Thursday, August 8 at 6:00 pm and interested persons are welcome to attend.
