Summer Offering
We are pleased to report that we have raised $250 for our summer email offering. Our statewide email group is an "official reconciling community" through RMN so we want to support RMN financially too individually, in our local groups and with our statewide email group!
We are excited to help them financially each year as a statewide email group!
Telling Our Stories
Welcome to the Nebraska Statewide Reconciling Network blog. We believe the best strategy for change in the church is to share our stories. We invite you to share your stories with us as we work together to change our church to one that truly practices Open hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors, and whose mission is to share God's love with ALL people.
