MMA SHARING FUNDS - MMA provided our congregation with $1,250
in matching funds during 2008. They
helped to support community service, youth service, and emergency needs. Sue Burkey serves as the MMA advocate in
our congregation. Please contact her
for more information. MMA insurance
and investment products generate the funds to make this possible. Contact Homer Friesen, 888-723-4994, for
information on these high quality mutual aid services.
MARCH 1 BUILDING OFFERING - Our first special building
offering will be held on Sunday, March 1.
$1,800.76 is needed to cover our minimum mortgage payments for the
first three months of 2009. Receiving
more than that amount will allow us to pay off our mortgage in less than 20
years and realize substantial interest savings. Prayerfully consider how you can participate joyfully and
thankfully.
UNL CAMPUS GROUP - Meet for fellowship and thought-
provoking conversation. The new FMC
College Group will meet at the UNL Nebraska Union near the Caffina Café on
Monday evenings at 9:00 p.m. This
week the group will begin a study of Philippians. Bring your friends!
BRING EXTRA - Please cook generously for the potluck next
Sunday. We are hoping to have a
number of guests and want to be sure there is plenty for them.
|
|
NEW ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES - March 1st is
the first week of two new classes.
Dave Breckbill will lead a discussion on the Marcus Borg book, The
Heart of Christianity. Marty Roth
will lead the Uniform Series. The
theme is "New Creation in Christ."
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.
|
|
TO SHARE AND PRAY - A new adult Sunday School class
focusing on sharing and prayer is meeting in classroom #8. If you are interested in visiting the
class or attending regularly, please stop by. All are welcome.

FAMILY IDEAS - In the last issue of Scattered Seeds, the
Congregational Ministries Committee encouraged families to adopt one or two
new faith practices. Here's an idea: the current issue of Beyond
Ourselves includes a "Lenten Giving Calendar" with activities and
suggestions for each day of Lent, starting February 25. What a great
way for families to claim their identity as God's people, celebrating and
embodying a culture of abundance by sharing time and resources. Find
this issue of Beyond Ourselves in your mailbox.
