Sheridan Ministry in the Lincoln Journal Star

The growing Sheridan ministry, Barnabas Community, was featured in the Sept. 8 edition of Lincoln Journal Star.
The Sheridan's Men's ministry made light work of the renovations that were needed to make the new rental space appropriate and usable for our needs, and now it's your turn.
Many hands make light work.The Barnabas Community Free Store and Gathering Place needs more volunteers, more funding, and more donations. To get involved, contact the Sheridan church office: 402-423-4769 or email your inquiry to info@sheridanlutheran.org.

Have you seen the Garden?

The new Community Garden by Sheridan's Outdoor Prayer and Reflection Center has been a blessing all summer long. 
This is a pictorial timeline from Ray Swanson of how the garden has come together. There are many Sheridan folks to thank for making this possible. Hunter Sieckmeyer worked hard with lots of others and the Thrivent Caring Congregational funding as a part of his Eagle Scout project. Be sure to take some time to walk by the pond and see all that is growing.
