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.  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. We hope to see you there!

View this email in your browser October 2021 Monument Family, October is here! It’s time for long-sleeves, playoff baseball, hunting, pumpkin “everything,” our first bowl of soup, and of course the “hustle n bustle” of harvest. God’s Word uses the image of harvest in many ways to reveal profound truths about salvation, living as a disciple of Jesus, and future judgment. Jesus once told His disciples “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field (Luke 10:2). Paul told the Christians in Rome “I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles” (Romans 1:13). James spoke of a harvest as well. In his instruction about heavenly wisdom versus earthly wisdom, he said “Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness” (James 1:18). This month we’re going to see combines out in the field and trucks out on the road, reminding us that it’s harvest season in the valley, and may this season remind us of the Kingdom harvest the Lord wants to produce in and through us as a church family. Let’s be a church of sent out workers into His harvest field. Let’s engage in gospel community so that a great harvest would be produced in our relationships with one another. Let’s sow peace in a world of discord so that we would reap a harvest of righteousness for His glory! Please take a few minutes to read this month’s newsletter which highlights what God is doing in and through us as a church family. May all that we do help us develop dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love, and share all for the glory of God! I love you and I’m praying for you.

Camp Rock Art and Pam DeVos Art and Pam Devos, Ashton and Hudson are our more local missionary partners.  Art is the executive director of Camp Rock where his family lives and serves.  Pam provides the leadership in food preparation at camp.  Ashton, who will soon turn seventeen, and thirteen year old Hudson also play important roles at Camp Rock.   “This year’s proving to be as exhilarating as last year was challenging!  To say we’re excited about what God is doing here would be this year’s understatement!” Art recently stated in a letter to supporters. Camp Rock hit 100% capacity this summer with 489 campers being served (capacity was set at 480).  The first summer the Devos family served at Camp Rock in 2013 there were 123 campers.  Art writes, “God’s at work in mighty ways; let’s celebrate that together!” This summer there were 22 summer ministry team members.  Several of the ministry team members were young people from Monument Bible Church.  The staff members spend Time Alone With God (TAWG) as they make it a priority to be in God’s Word.  God’s Word is true and does not change—Camp Rock stands firm on this. Art states, “We refuse to be complacent, having maxed out this summer.  So many more people need Jesus, and we must do everything we can with our opportunities to impact for Christ.  We are making plans to remodel a few areas of camp to continue the momentum” Camp Rock has been ministering for 75 years.  On October 23 Camp Rock Ministries is hosting a Fall Banquet Saturday at the camp facilities in Redington.  There will be camp tours at 11:00 and 1:30.  A noon lunch, worship and program will be held at 12:00 noon.  What a great opportunity to see one of our missionary partners and mission firsthand!  Please RSVP at www.camprock.net.  The banquet serves two purposes: “ 1) It supplements our annual budget, keeping our camper’s prices much lower than the average camp. 2) It funds these growth-related projects.” Please pray for Art, Pam, Ashton and Hudson as they serve the Lord by reaching out to the youth of our area.  A note of encouragement can be sent to 8092 Road 81, Bridgeport, NE, 69336 or an e-mail sent to www.camprock.net   Monument Bible Church exists to develop dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love and share all for the glory of God!  For more information, please visit our website at www.monumentbiblechurch.com, or call the church office anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., Tuesday-Friday at 308.632.4099.   Copyright © *|CURRENT_YEAR|* *|LIST:COMPANY|*, All rights reserved.
