The 2017 Nebraska Christian Dinner & Benefit Auction 58 Years of “Building Lives for Eternity” Nebraska Christian Schools Central City, Nebraska www.nebraskachristian.org Saturday, March 25, 2017 Please bring this catalog with you on Saturday evening. Dear Friends of Nebraska Christian, On behalf of the Nebraska Christian Schools family, we would like to welcome you to our Dinner and Benefit Auction. Our many families, dedicated teachers, administration, and staff want you to know that they appreciate your presence and the support you show by your enthusiastic participation in the bidding this evening. We are grateful for the generosity of so many in giving their time, talent, and resources to this event. We know that the financial gain realized is only part of the benefit we receive. We consider the relationships formed during the last fourteen auctions a great blessing to us and to the school. With thankful hearts, Kristy Langemeier, Special Events Coordinator Deana Leonard, Special Events Assistant The mission of Nebraska Christian Schools is to assist the family and church by providing a Christ-centered education, equipping students with a Biblical worldview, and encouraging a love relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The reason for our Benefit Auction is...... Private educational institutions such as Nebraska Christian Schools face the challenge of providing quality education without the help of tax dollars. Nebraska Christian is also not under the shelter of denominational support. Parents of students must bear the majority of the costs involved in educating their students, but tuition alone does not meet all the demands. We are thankful for friends like you who invest in the lives of our students as they are trained to impact the world for Jesus Christ. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10 NCHS Staff and Faculty Josh Cumpston – Superintendent Harold Cook Kristy Langemeier Curtis Cooper Deana Leonard Tom Dockweiler Mark Leonard Terry Elge Deb Lovejoy Andy Falk Erin Mankin Ruth Ferris Clay Mankin Amy Fetterley Karen Miotke Dee Flynn Tara Mundt Kaity Flynn Nathan Musgrave Mike Flynn Sara Musgrave Stephani Francl Carl Ostrand Ronnie Franke Tonya Ostrand Suzhen Franke Andrew Perdew David Gee Becky Ritta Karmen Hamer Robert Ritta Jody Heuermann Susan Ritta Rachel Hicks Denise Schreiber Larry Hoff Larry Schreiber Daurice Hower Vonda Schnell Steve James Chris Schweitzer Donna Janssen Wendy Schweitzer Ronda Jividen Charissa Smith Renate Johansen Janice Stuhmer Scott Johnson Sarah Swanson Gib Killion Gordon Thiessen Kathy Kirby Patty Welk Maddie Kirby Eric Zanger Levi Landrigan Verna Zaruba Britta Landrigan NC School Board Members Paul McHargue, Chairman Matt Green, Vice Chairman Lester Unruh, Secretary Les Griess, Treasurer Greg Epp William Feely Doug Langemeier Chuck Murphy Ryan Twogood Tyson Ratliff, Advisory Council Chairman The Nebraska Christian Schools Foundation “Leaving a legacy that builds lives for eternity.” The option of a Christian education is available today at Nebraska Christian Schools because of people who came before us, saw a need, and worked to meet it.
