A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR

Making Time for the Elderly

Their day starts out the same as the day before; wake up, get your bearings, get some breakfast, maybe take a bath, a

nap, lunch, more of a nap, followed by dinner, then bed after a while.

Maybe in between those times, catch a little television, or maybe a game with some friends. Read the paper? Possibly.

Get a visit from someone? Maybe.

The scenario I’m describing pertains to our elderly members, who, by the way, have been heavy on my heart.

They are a generation whose time has come - and for many, has gone, as far as working and generating income for the

family.

They have spent years working, scrimping, saving, building and securing their family’s future and legacy.

They are now in their “retirement” years. Where once in their lives they tried so hard to gather time; they now have time in

abundance; and yet, time may be short for them on this earth!

They essentially are “young people” in an older body that doesn’t function quite as efficiently as it once did, and the “hard

drive” takes a while to boot up and recall information.

Many have taken the “time” to give of themselves to their family, their church, their community.

Now, there are some who face loneliness due to simply being forgotten.

And, when it’s time for them to pass into the next life, we essentially lose a library of information they alone possessed (I

heard or saw that phrase somewhere, and it has stuck with me!).

I’m not trying to paint a bleak picture here; rather, to bring to light a situation I see when I do visits. We all get caught up in

our daily lives, obligations, concerns, pressures, etc.

Please keep in mind that this is not meant to point a finger at ANYONE in our church family; rather, it is a stark reality that we have some people in our community who are missing something in their life that could be easily rectified; and that is a

visitation.

I was raised in a family that believed in tending to their elderly. Grandparents lived with the family until it simply wasn’t fea-

sible, and then other options were explored and decided upon.

1 Timothy 5:8 rings in my mind: “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he

has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

Some people look at the word “provide” as a roof over their heads and food. While that is true, it also applies to providing

companionship, love, communication and patience.

The crux of my thoughts is this: If you haven’t done so already, would you consider taking the time to visit someone, or at the very least, call them and briefly visit with them on a weekly basis? Think of the happiness you’d bring them, knowing

that someone was thinking of them and took time out of their busy schedule to simply drop by and say, “hello.”

Such a small gesture; yet so profoundly impactful in a person's life!

Pastor Keith

with the services, feel this helps to keep the kids engaged. Pastor feels that new year he will have the Council look over

the program prior to the service to prevent any confusion. Question raised if members of the Council can help with the

distribution of the elements, Pastor will look into this for us. We will also need to be sure the pew lights are tight on the

they have the Apostles Creed memorized and are working to understand the Statement of Faith. Pastor met with the

next year, hoping to get Fareway and Walmart on board to have the Wisemen and Crier outside the building. This year

we had no volunteers for the Wisemen, hope to get some for next year. No feedback has been received on the Coffee/

Tea Bar. Time and Talent Sheets due in by January 26th. Need to remind folks to bring them in. The Council will be bring

Dear Bethel Church Members:

The Council is putting forth a proposal to replace the sound system for the sanctuary. What we

have is an outdated analog system that is becoming more and more difficult to use with modern

technology. Weddings, special events, and getting a quality recording is impossible to deal with at

times. We have acquired two bids from the two companies in the state that do this type of work. It

was suggested that a committee be established to study this issue and get a third bid. A sign up

sheet for the requested committee will be in the back of the sanctuary or you can call the office to

volunteer.

There will be a special congregational meeting on the 23rd of February to discuss and vote on

this proposal. We need to move forward on the fundraising and grant writing to raise the funds and

will not do so without your approval of the project. If a third bid is not found by April 1 that beats the

lower one that we have, then we will have the funds and permission in place to get the job done.

The much lower of the 2 bids is split up into 3 phases that are listed below. We are only looking

to accomplish the first phase and possibly the third if we have the support and the funds. We are

asking for permission to spend $26,000 for phase one. This is above what the initial bid is, but we

will be fundraising, grant writing and searching for other outside sources. Depending on the amount

of time we need to raise the money so we do not put the church in a financial pinch, will determine

the final cost. The price ranges are from last year's price and an estimated amount that inflation,

tariffs, and the possible need for a dedicated laptop to run portions of this system.

Please read through the information and pray on this issue. We need to get our voice out to

the congregation every Sunday at a minimum. We need to grow to bring our church back to the

thriving church family that helped raise So many families. This update allows us to reach out to

people looking for a welcoming, conservative, solid church that feels like home. We know that we

have that, but we need to make sure people out there know it.

In Mark 16:15, Jesus commanded his disciples to “go into all the world and preach the gospel

to every creature.” To preach means to communicate, to “broadcast” the gospel.

Bethel has a tremendous opportunity to reach out to Nebraska City and beyond. Bethel can

and should be that voice.

Phase 1:

Presonus Digital/Analog mixing council - $21,716.28 - $23,453

Up to 16 components

Direct recording

Atlas speakers and amplifier - designed for spaces like ours

2 Shure wireless microphones, one handheld, one lavalier, 3 new choir area mics

ADA compliant system is included if ours needs replacing

Upgrades to the Nursery and basement connections

Installation, fine tuning and training of our people

Phase 2: This is for another discussion in years to come.

This is a modular system that will allow increased capabilities in the future. As we grow and need to

expand into video aspects of Audio Visual presentations, having our service aired on-line, or

recorded for our homebound, that plan has been developed as well, but we can do that

later. $20,229.92 - $21,848.32

A third phase was planned for a mobile system that would make programs such as the Living Last

Supper and Christmas pageants more enjoyable. We would be able to hear everyone. This would

be nice to do with phase 1. $1704.80 - $1,841.19

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Bethel Church Council

The Nebraska City High School Pioneer Baseball Team’s Quintin Holman has signed his Letter Of Intent with Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. Holman is extremely excited the opportunity to play at Morningside and was happy with the whole recruiting experience. "I personally chose them because it's not a far away school it's a big school that's very competitive in all sports. They really had a lot of interest in me, as soon as I put my interest in them they offered it right back. They invited me to a workout with them. So we called they put a scholarship on the offer, and I kind of already decided before hand to go to Morningside, just because I did like the atmosphere there. As soon as they offered me the scholarship I almost broke down crying, because I was so happy, and I accepted it right then and

there." Holman also enjoyed the family atmosphere at Morningside and already has a plan to further his education. "They invited me for lunch and I ate with the baseball team, and it just felt like a family atmosphere. It felt kind of homey. My plan is to study accounting and get my CPA." The Morningside Baseball team is very competitive and went 26-19 last year with a record of 14-4 at home with the addition of Holman the future looks bright for the Mustangs.
