It’s come to our attention that some o are getting emails that appear to be from Pastor Mike Meyer, but are not. Please be cautious and do not respond to these emails.

How to protect yourself from scam emails and text messages (according to the FBI):

  • Remember that companies generally don’t contact you to ask for your username or password.
  • Don’t click on anything in an unsolicited email or text message. Look up the company’s phone number on your own (don’t use the one a potential scammer is providing), and call the company to ask if the request is legitimate.
  • Carefully examine the email address, URL, and spelling used in any correspondence. Scammers use slight differences to trick your eye and gain your trust.
  • Be careful what you download. Never open an email attachment from someone you don’t know and be wary of email attachments forwarded to you.
  • Set up two-factor (or multi-factor) authentication on any account that allows it, and never disable it.
  • Be careful with what information you share online or on social media. By openly sharing things like pet names, schools you attended, family members, and your birthday, you can give a scammer all the information they need to guess your password or answer your security questions.

Rock News: Thanks and Caution!

Thanks to all who offered boxes to help with clean up of the storm damage. We have all we need.
 
Please stay far back from the building, as there is loose glass that could slip out and fall to the ground at any time. We do not want anyone to pick up glass off the ground until the third-floor shattered windows are removed.
 
We’ve had people graciously volunteer time and materials to help with clean up. If you would like to add your name to the list, you can respond here or text Danna at 402-643-5085.

Rock News: Help Needed!

Forever family, we suffered some storm damage with a number of broken windows in our cafe area. We have an immediate need for small to medium sized boxes to collect the broken glass. If you have some you can share with us, please text Danna Seevers at 402-643-5085 or respond to this email. Thank you!
