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. Nursery and children's church are available for kids up to age 5. There are two primary entrances to our building, both on the east side. The doors at the north end are closest to the sanctuary. Our covered, south end entrance will lead  you into the gym.

April 2020   Greetings Monument Family,   School & business closures, social distancing, the cancellations of sports seasons & graduations, layoffs, self-quarantine, and “flattening the curve”—none of us expected this when we began 2020 and it’s so surreal—and we’re all adjusting to the new “normal” which doesn’t feel normal at all. The current health crisis is impacting people physically (restrictions on where we go), emotionally (anger, frustration, disappointment, fear, apathy, and loneliness), and economically (loss of jobs/income). Our daily circumstances may change but our disciple-making mission remains constant. Now more than ever we must embrace our mission of “developing dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love, and share all for the glory of God.” Worship – Let’s continue to be people who worship. Every day is an opportunity to worship Him. I don’t know when we’ll be able to worship together again, face to face. Currently the mandate that limits public gatherings to 10 or less has been extended in Scottsbluff County to May 11th but we need prepare for the reality that it could be longer. Good Friday and Easter have not been cancelled and we’ll be having special online services to remember Jesus’ death and celebrate His resurrection in the coming week.   Grow – Let’s continue to be people who grow. Some classes, bible studies, and small groups are continuing to meet on-line through ZOOM and we hope to offer more opportunities for growth in the days ahead. One of the ways you can grow at home is through RightNow Media. Thanks to the generosity of several families, you have been given free access to thousands of resources to help you and your family grow spiritually. If you haven't signed up yet, you can find out more information about getting access to RightNow media in this month’s newsletter.   Love – Let’s continue to be people who love one another. We can still demonstrate our love and care in many ways through phone calls, texts, cards, and acts of service. Would you take moment today, to check in on a friend or neighbor and see how they are doing and, perhaps, pray with them?   Share – Let’s continue to be people who share. I want to thank everyone who gives sacrificially to support our ministry as a church. We want to share with our community as well during this crisis. Potter’s Wheel is taking perishable and nonperishable donations at their food pantry. You can call 308-672-7400 for details. Meals on Wheels needs volunteer drivers. You can call Jill Allen at 308-632-3736 for more information. God is doing a great work in and through us as a church. In the midst of this season, we’re being reminded that our circumstances can change in a heartbeat. Thankfully, we serve a God who never changes--“Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8)—and we cling to the promise that “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in our trouble” (Psalm 46:1). Let’s keep holding fast to Him each day and taking advantage of every opportunity we have to point others to the hope that is in Jesus as we strive to fulfill our disciple-making mission. I love you…serve Him well! In Christ, Pastor Jeff Online church services will held this month at 10:45 a.m. on Facebook.

If it asks, simply click “Not Now" or if you are on a mobile phone, click the "X" in the right corner of the sign up box. Roof Replacement and Paved Parking! During this health crisis, there has been less activity happening “inside” our facility but there has been a a lot of activity going on “outside” over the last two weeks. We received an insurance settlement to replace our roof that was damaged in last year’s hailstorm, so a crew has been working hard on that project. AND, thanks to the generosity of some donors, memorial gifts, and a recent rebate we received from our energy provider, work is under way to pave a major section of the NE parking lot! The pavement is going to be a huge blessing for our ministry – and we look forward with great anticipation to parking our cars on this paved lot when we are finally able to reconvene for worship at our facility! Here are some pictures of the progress: We’re praising God for His provisions this month. Thanks to all who have been faithfully giving during this time when we’re not meeting together face to face. If you call Monument home but don’t give, please prayerfully consider supporting the ministry of local church through your sacrificial giving. Offerings are being received by mail or online through Tithe.ly. Go to monumentbiblechurch.com, click “GIVE”.  Also, checks may be mailed to: Monument Bible Church, 4124 Ave I, Scottsbluff, NE 69361.   We are excited to share that our church now has access to an extensive, new video library called RightNow Media!  It has a HUGE library bible studies, devotionals, kids videos that you can access whenever and wherever you want—on your phone, iPad, computer, or at home on your TV. If you haven't yet signed up, do so today! We believe RightNow is an excellent resource to help you grow in your walk with Jesus, especially during these uncertain times.
