Parent Child Dedication is a special time for parents to affirm their intention to raise their child in an environment where the child’s faith will flourish. In this act of consecration, we praise God and also bring the newborn/child into a relationship with the body of Christ.  In this service, parents commit themselves to this calling. 

Children are safe in the care of God.  When they are able to be accountable for their own actions, they are able to make the church's faith their own and declare their wish for baptism.

Each year in Canada and the United States, thousands of volunteers come  together to raise money for  Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) for the relief of suffering in the world. Annually over $5 million is raised at these events with an average of 85% sent to the field to help those in need.  The Nebraska MCC Sale is an annual event you wont want to miss! 

This year, join us Friday and Saturday, April 5-6, 2019, at the Aurora Fairgrounds in Aurora, Nebraska, for the 39th Annual Nebraska MCC Sale. Go to the sale site for more information!

Every year in November, approximately 1,000 school kits are packed and sent to Mennonite Central Committee for children around the world.  Last year, 1,028 school kits were packed!  

Every year MCC’s Mobile Meat Canner travels across the United States and Canada meeting volunteers who prepare cans of turkey, beef, chicken and pork to be sent around the world.  However, this year (2018) the mobile canning unit will not follow its normal route and schedule.  Only one position was filled of the four-person crew so the canner will only stop at a few limited locations.  We will have the opportunity to join with our fellow Nebraska congregations and can at the MCC Resource Center November 8, 9, & 10, 2018.  For more information, contact Brent Swartzendruber or Jay Dee Janzen.  The Facebook page "Nebraska MCC Canning" has been set up to assist with information and coordination in the coming months.

Over 30,000 people a year volunteer to fill, weigh, wash and label every can. The finished cans are shipped to our partners, providing important nutrients when meat is hard to purchase. In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea), where meat is scarce, MCC shares canned meat with our partners to supplement meals for children as well as patients with tuberculosis or hepatitis.
