Big Bouquets of Thanks!

The Children’s Arts Festival was a wonderful success and fun for everyone. The event was: Advertised on 10 radio stations, TV, community posters and we were featured on the front page in the Value section of the Lincoln Journal Star!

Our name went out into the Lincoln community, as a family-friendly and artistically inclined co-operative congregation! Yes, we sure are!

We welcomed many new people to the Festival & String Beans Concert :

Thanks to ALL of YOU!

Note for Parents about Summer Sunday RGL Safety Concerns

We are lucky to have many summer event leaders and assistants! Many have not worked with our children in the past. Please help them by being extra attentive to all of our children’s safety:

Please sign-in all children attending our Summer Program with the RGL Greeters. Pick up children immediately after the service. Children (8 years and over) will be released from our activities and instructed to find parents in the fireplace room at 11:15 a.m.

Children (under 8 years) MUST be signed out. If you wish your older children also be signed out notify the RGD in advance. Reminder: Do not allow children to roam the church/grounds during the service. We require that children under 16 yrs be supervised by an adult at all times on church property because we care about our whole church community! <Hope
