Greetings!

My name is Jeff Banks and I’m the Senior Pastor at Monument Bible Church. God is at work here in the panhandle of Nebraska and we are excited to be part of what He is doing.  Monument is a close church family with a deep love for one another and for our community. Our church includes people from all walks of life and varying experiences. We have a diversity of ages from children, young adults, newly married, mid-lifers, empty nesters and senior saints! I hope you will come visit us and discover the love of God and the love of our church family as we carry out our mission of making dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love and share all for the glory of God!

 When you visit:
Our desire is that you feel welcome when you visit us on Sunday mornings. Come in your jeans or dress up if that is what you feel comfortable in. The important thing is that you are able to connect and take your next step of faith. You can expect practical and in-depth teaching from the bible (we are passionate about communicating God's Word!) and a worship style that is a blend of contemporary worship music and a hymn or two.  Our service lasts about an hour and twenty minutes. Currently, nursery and children's church are not available for kids up to age 5 due to the current health crisis. We are hoping for these ministries to return in the fall. When you visit, there are two primary entrances to our building, both on the east side. The doors at the north end are closest to the sanctuary, but we are currently meeting in the gym, so please use the doors on the southeast side of the building. Here is a video from Pastor Jeff explaining a bit about the current service setup. (He made it in May when we opened up the doors again).  WATCH VIDEO

View this email in your browser September 2020, Monument family, Greetings! The arrival of September automatically makes me think of fall. We’ve even had some cool mornings this week that give a glimpse of what’s to come. Labor Day typically makes the transition from summer to fall feel like a reality. I must admit the reality of no Husker football has me feeling blue. I guess this momentary suffering will be a part of my sanctification this fall. Certainly, we’ll face greater trials than the loss of a football season in our lives, but God’s Word reminds us that suffering of trials “show the proven character of our faith” (1 Peter 1:6-7). May each trial we face refine our faith and make us more like Jesus. We ended the summer with a lakeside service that featured a message about our disciple-making mission, four baptisms, plus a great BBQ and day of recreation. I want to thank Dana for organizing, Lewis & Sarah Reinhardt for hosting us, Perry and the worship team for leading us in worship, Mike Blue & his serving crew (Stace & Linda Swartzkopf, David McCracken, Paul & Shannon Goss) Kevin Kaufman and Pepsi for the drinks and many others who helped set up and clean up. What an amazing day! I’ve got a few updates I’d like to pass on as we prepare for another year of ministry as a church family. Annual Meeting – We held our annual membership meeting on Sunday, August 30th. Thanks to all the members who sent in their ballots by proxy and for those who attended in person. We had a great turnout! I’m pleased to announce that the proposed budget, leadership nominations, and by-law revision were all approved by an overwhelming majority.   Leadership Transitions – We have some changes to our leadership team this month. First, I’d like to thank Mike Clement and Joe Rohrer who are no longer on the deacon team. Both of these men have faithfully served this church family for many years and deserve recognition and appreciation. Please take the opportunity to thank them this month. I’m pleased to announce that Kevin Kaufman and Lewis Reinhardt have been affirmed by the membership to serve as deacons. Please congratulate them and pray for them as they join the team this month.    Sunday Morning Worship – We are going to begin Nursery (ages 0-2) and Children’s Church (ages 3-5) on Sunday, September 13, 2020, and will continue to livestream our service each week. We’ve been tentatively planning to transition back to the sanctuary for our Sunday morning worship gatherings this month. The elders have decided to delay that transition while awaiting some guidelines from our local health officials. I’ll be sending out a video with more details about these decisions and plans.   New Groups and Classes Begin this month  – There will be new fall Bible classes for children, students, and adults on September 27th from 9:30 a.m.–10:30 a.m. Plus, several groups that meet outside of Sunday morning will begin soon! Don’t miss the opportunity to join a class, bible study, or small group this fall in an effort to grow in your walk with God and understanding of His Word. I encourage you to take a few minutes to read this month’s newsletter which has more information about all of the exciting things that are kicking off. Jesus is building His church! May we continue to hold fast to Him each day as we strive to develop dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love, and share for the glory of God. I love you – keep serving Him well!   Pastor Jeff   Our Fall Groups & Classes flyer is out! (Click on the pic above). Together, let's grow in our relationship with God and one another!
