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 available for kids up to age 5. We are continually monitoring the current health crisis. To learn more about our COVID response click HERE.
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.

View this email in your browser January 2021 Monument Family, Happy New Year! 2020 was a very difficult year filled with much disappointment, frustration, and loss and yet God was at work fulfilling His purpose and plans for His glory and our good. I hope we begin 2021 with a renewed sense of His faithfulness and our daily need for Him. The dawn of a new year always brings a renewed sense of hope for the future and I’m praying you’ll be drawn closer to Him each day. Have you made any new year’s resolutions yet? I’ve resolved to not eat mushrooms in 2021 (it’s my standing new year’s resolution). The beginning of a new year is always a good time to dedicate yourself to reading through the Bible. Here's a link to several reading plans for 2021. 2021 Bible Reading Plans (ligonier.org) I pray that you will delight in His word and be transformed by His word in the coming year. I’m excited about renewing our commitment to our disciple-making mission in 2021. To that end, we are engaged in several key initiatives to help us become more effective in fulfilling our mission. Restart of Ministries – Due to the decreased risk level (from red to orange) for the spread of Covid in our community, we are relaunching Bible Fellowship classes, children’s ministries (nursery, Children’s Church, & AWANA), bible studies, and small groups. The elders will continue to monitor the latest information and recommendations from state and local officials in the hope of returning to the sanctuary for Sunday morning worship soon.   Youth Pastor Search – We’re in the process of searching for a part-time youth pastor who will impact our ministry to students. I’m working with a parent council that has conducted some introductory interviews with applicants. Please pray for this ongoing process in the coming year.   Remodeling Projects – We have installed new flooring in the basement to enhance our children’s ministry environment (if you haven’t seen it yet feel free to go take a look!) and are close to completing the expansion of an adult classroom. We will also be installing new LED dimmable lights in the gym. Please take a few minutes to read this newsletter to gain more information about what’s happening in January. I’m not a prophet or the son of a prophet so I won’t attempt to predict what’s to come in 2021—I am certain that God is sovereign in the midst of every circumstance we will face—let’s continue to trust in Him and put our hope in Him each day as we strive to develop dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love, and share all for the glory of God. I love you – Serve Him Well! In Christ, Pastor Jeff      Bible Fellowship Classes Resume Sundays, 9:30-10:30 a.m. We are picking up where we left off in November.

Each month we will be highlighting one or two missions that Monument supports. Please take some time to check out our missionary's websites and learn more about their ministries. An encouraging email, phone call, or letter would surely be appreciated, as well! Brad & Gina Shaw Brad and Gina Shaw serve with SIM U.S.A. as missionaries to the Quechua people of Peru.  They have been “home based” from Colorado since last spring.  They stay connected with the Peru Team through the internet and telephone.  A recent note from Brad and Gina states “Peru was hard hit from the epidemic, but the current Peruvian summer is bringing relief and the church planting team can once again visit villages and gather for worship.” Brad and Gina are waiting until after they receive a vaccine before returning to Peru, hopefully by mid-summer.  They are excited to return so they can see “the radio expansion advancing and many more reached for Christ.” Please pray for the Shaws as they would like to visit churches and supporters, but this is difficult at this time.  They appreciated the Christmas gift and letter from the church.  A written note of encouragement can be sent to Brad and Gina Shaw, PO Box 665, Montrose, CO 81401 or e-mail at bradley.shaw@sim.org or gina.shaw@sim.org.   Thanks for praying and encouraging the Brad and Gina.
