Need an extra hand with your spring projects? Our Unashamed Youth are willing to do your dirty work! We are accepting free will donations in exchange for labor to raise funds for our upcoming trip to Challenge. Got a job for us? Contact Pastor Lige or Megan!
The Deaconess Team is taking a special offering during the month of June to bless the missionary women MEFC supports. If you wish to donate, please mark your donation for the Bakeless Bake Sale and leave it in the offering box or at the church office. Thank you for continuing to lift up these women as they take the love of God out to other countries and communities!
Children’s Church will take a summer break through the end of August. Stay tuned for updates!
Women's Summer Study
Please join us this summer as we pursue a greater understanding of God's Word and how He is working in our lives. Priscilla Shirer's Bible study, Elijah, will lead us on a bold faith journey. It will encourage us to fully trust God's goodness, embrace the varying seasons of life, and "pray down Heaven in impossible situations".
The 7-session study will begin Wednesday, June 8th. We will meet from 12:00-1:00 while hubbies are home to watch the littles. Or for those that are working outside the home at that time, this is an opportunity to feast on God's Word over your lunch break (feel free to bring your lunch to feast on, as well).
If you are interested in joining this study, please contact Kim Olson at 830-1457. God Bless!
All ladies are invited to share in a bridal shower celebration for Shannon Farlin at Hope Evangelical Free Church, 907 Ave C in Kearney, at 4pm on Saturday, June 25th.
Please remember to check the lost and found area, on the shelves above the coat racks, for items that you may have left behind.
Are you interested in baptism or baby dedication? Please contact the office for more information!
Daily Prayer Guide
We are called to pray for each other daily, and MEFC provides opportunities to help you keep yourself organized and accountable! Pick up a physical Daily Prayer Guide from the pamphlet display in the foyer. Praying for one another is a priceless gift!
The MEFC office will be open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 9am-11am. If you must contact Megan outside of these hours, please call or text only from 8am-5pm to respect her family time. You may also email or leave a message on the church machine at any time!
We are in need of cookie bakers (or purchasers) and coffee servers! If you are interested in serving in this way, please sign up at the link below:
