Remodeling of the future clinic building has begun.
 
A division of Harvest Community Church called "The Rock" volunteered and cleaned out the facility.  What a blessing!
 
We are at present seeking to find a Volunteer Coordinator
for the Clinic.
Contact Beth Vavrina, 475-1303, if you are interested in receiving more information about volunteering at the Clinic.

 Handmade Quilts

Peace Lutheran Quilt donations

The women of the Peace Lutheran Sewing Guild have been busy!  Just this morning they brought 20 beautiful handmade quilts to the Mission.  Many thanks to this group.  Just as these quilts will bless our guests during the winter months, PCM is blessed by the generosity of the Sewing Guild and many others that give of their time and money.

 PCM Annual Banquet

Immediately following the Leadership Conference, we held PCM's Annual Banquet to thank the Mission's donors and supporters.  Embassy Suites provided us with a fabulous meal as we celebrated the Mission's work in Lincoln within the past year.  Bill Hybels, founding and Senior Pastor of Willow Creek Church & Association, spoke about Christ's work in his personal life.  His devotion and passion for building up Christ's kingdom was truly inspirational and we were honored to have him at the banquet.  Coby Mach of LIBA and KLIN joined us as the emcee of the evening.  We were also blessed by Dave & Treva Baltes and 15 children of People's City Mission as they shared their musical talents with us.  Thanks to everyone who attended.

The first annual
Nebraska Leadership Conference
 

NELC TO

PCM's first leadership conference was held on Friday, September 12th, at Pershing Auditorium here in Lincoln.  Our goal was to encourage and equip our attendees with the necessary tools to help them be effective leaders in their community.  After reviewing the conference evaluations filled out by our attendees, we did just that!  I want to thank our speakers and musicians for helping us realize this vision.  Thanks to:
  • Bill Hybels
  • Dr. Tom Osborne
  • Dr. Al Winseman & Gallup
  • Mission Bean Coffee
  • Teammates
  • Mad Dads

Operation Blessing

Operation Blessing

 Did you see us this weekend?  PCM staff and volunteers camped out at Sam's Club and both the North and South  Wal-Marts to collect food and personal care items for the low-income and homeless in Lincoln.  As patrons entered these businesses, they received a list of items needed by PCM.  Donated food items will be used to provide a free Thanksgiving meal to hundreds, maybe even thousands, right here in Lincoln.  If you would like to be a part of Operation Blessing, take your food donation to our Distribution Center on 21st and N.  These items include:

  • Cranberries
  • Dressing mix
  • Cranberries
  • Yams
  • Biscuits
  • Green beans

  • Pie mix
  • Instant mashed potatoes
Remember, Love Can Change a Life!
