COVID-19 Updates and Reminders

We continue to deep clean all areas used for Sunday service and require all volunteers and staff to wear masks when serving.

Celebration is not within Omaha city limits, so we are not included in the City mask ordinance passed this week. Celebration does follow directed health measures issued by the State of Nebraska and the Sarpy/Cass Health Department.

We ask for your cooperation with the following:

1. Please stay home if you have a cough, fever, sore throat, or do not feel well.

2. Please continue to disinfect your hands immediately upon arrival and prior to exiting, and practice social distancing. Masks are still optional. We ask that you keep greetings to waves and virtual air high fives.

3. Celebration’s in-person service (Sundays 10:30am) is no longer taking seating reservations. Just come on in, and we will seat your party.

4. Celebration’s online service premieres on YouTube and Facebook each Sunday at 10:30 am. You can find our channel (and subscribe) by searching for “Celebration Covenant Church Omaha”. You can also catch a separate Sunday school video each week at 10:00AM on our Youtube channel.

Thanks for showing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control! Together we enjoy Celebration as a safe, welcoming place where people experience God’s love through our love for each other.

In Christ,

Pastor Dawn & Roo

SOW THE WORD IN 2020

This year our focus is to "Sow God's Word" into our lives! Together as a congregation, we are focusing on key passages of scripture - to read, to meditate and to be transformed by the power of God's Word! Each month, there will be a theme and key verse for our focus.

Here is how you can dig deeper.

1. Connect with our daily readings | These brief daily readings will dig even deeper into the theme for the week, helping you reflect on how to apply God's Word to your daily life more effectively. You can receive these readings by joining the facebook group HERE, by requesting a written copy of the readings or through an email (you can do more than one). To join by email or written copy reply to this email. Any questions contact Pastor Dawn HERE or call (402)-490-2542.

2. Reflect in a small group | Every Wednesday, 6:30-8:00 pm there is a discussion group where we reflect on the messages from Sunday in a small group format. You can join us in person or online, Contact Pastor Dawn for more info.

Dec 19th, City Wide Prayer Focus

As part of our commitment to the Citywide Prayer Network, Celebration has agreed to pray for the Metro area on the 19th of every month. This month’s prayer focus is IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES. Historically our state has been identified as a place of sanctuary and supply. Beginning with the pioneers we have been a city of refuge welcoming those from many nations. No one has been untouched by this year’s pandemic, but it has hit many immigrant families especially hard. Multiple generations living under one roof make it more difficult to isolate ill family members; language barriers make it difficult to understand instructions on how to keep their families healthy, and the closure of many businesses impacts them as well. May the church in our Metro area “encircle them, care for them…just as a father cares for his child”. May we be His heart in the Heartland for the dispossessed! For a list of scriptures and prayer points follow the link HERE.

This Sunday: This first week, we begin at the beginning. What does it mean for someone to receive the gift of Jesus Himself? How does that happen? What can that person expect it to be like? Join us as Pastor Dawn talks about the new birth in Jesus.

Give Thanks! a virtual journey of gratitude

This Thanksgiving gather the family and join us for a Journey of Gratitude. Our video will go live at 4pm but feel free to interact with it whenever it best suits your family.

God bless and Happy Thanksgiving!

Sadly we are unable to do a traditional Christmas Pageant this year. However we'd love for you to use your creativity to tell the story of the birth of Jesus as a family! Video your family or have a picture taken and send it to us so we can

share them with our church family. You can read from the Bible in (Luke 2), or act out the whole story! Use any props you have: blankets, dolls, dogs, cats, hats, whatever you can find. If you do a video, aim for between 1-2 minutes (The example in the video above was 1:29!). Text either to Josh Beckner at 402-332-7935. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
