| Important: All members with keys to the building, please check to see if you have a key that says “Control” on it and let Danna know that you have it. |
| Help us improve the second floor classrooms! Thanks to your generosity last year, Stepping Stones has enough supplies for their activities this year. Now that our windows are repaired, they’re ready to use the second floor classrooms again and it’s time to spruce up those classrooms. You can make a donation to that project by donating online or in the offering basket and designating it for Stepping Stones. Thanks for your continued partnership in this ministry. |
| It’s time to sign up for children’s and youth ministry! Stepping Stones, for ages 3-4th grade, and FaithInk for grades 5-8 meet on Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:30 p.m. during the school year. We will kick off another year of fun starting with a potluck at The Rock on Wednesday, September 4 at 6:30. This is also a great chance to meet Rev. Bartels.

| The Rock Facility Improvement Project We are still looking for people to partner with us in our facility improvement project. We’ve divided the entire building into 48 distinct areas, each with its own To-Do list, To make it easier for everyone to contribute, we invite you to “adopt” a room or area, and over the next year, enlist your friends or family to focus on just that ONE space. Whether it’s a big task or a small one, many hands will make light work, and there is something everyone can do to help. With God’s people working side by side, we can accomplish amazing things! If you can help, please contact [email protected]. We have posted the To-Do Lists in each of the spaces so you can walk around and look at the areas before choosing your space. |
| Our August item to donate in support of Blue Valley Community Action is canned fruit. Thanks for being a blessing to the community in this way. You can see our Blue Valley Pantry item schedule on our website. Year-round they also collect the following: pasta, pasta meal mixes, instant potato side dishes, and mashed potatoes. |

Register using this form, or call or text 402-617-3410, or email [email protected]. |
| We are still in need of a backup caregiver for Nicodemus Comfort Dog. The role of the Back-up Caregiver is the same as the Primary Caregiver, only a much shorter time commitment. The Back-up Caregiver cares for the needs of Nico, getting him ready to go out to service when Randy and Marcia have scheduled time off. The Nico fund would set up that person or family with all needed supplies and training as to Nico’s verbal and house commands. The Back-up Caregiver does NOT have to be a member of the Rock Church or even a Lutheran, but must be a follower of Jesus. Policy from the Lutheran Church Charities (LCC), the head of the Comfort Dog Ministry who set the rules and commands for all the Comfort Dogs across the U.S.A., has changed. Another pet within the Back-up Caregiver home is allowed but still not preferred. What the Nico Team is asking is that you sit with our Lord in prayer, to ask for a name that might be a possibility for a Back-up Caregiver for our Ministry. Please get that name with contact information to one of Nico’s Team members or one of the Rock’s leadership members, or submit it to our church office. Thank you for your prayers and help. |
