Hi Z.,
I think you might find our church, By Grace Community Church, a good fit for you! We are a church plant, growing and vibrant, with increasing numbers of young families (mine included). I looked a little at the website of your church in Nebraska and I really think you would love what we do. Our website is: http://www.bygraceonline.org and I would love for you to look it over. I'm going to copy and paste our mission statement and core values here to get you started!

If you have any further questions (or even anyone else reading this note) you can email me at ____@____.com (I read that one the most often) or call me at ###-###-####. We have a number of military folks already at our church, and, as I said, a growing number of young families. I have a 4-year-old daughter, Sydney, and a 15-month-old daughter, Savannah.
If you are interested in coming this Sunday, we meet at 4pm on Harpersville Rd (almost where it intersects Warwick Blvd) and I'd be glad to meet you somewhere if that is easier. We also have directions on our website. I also co-lead a Bible Study on Wed. mornings (with childcare) that some of our stay-at-home moms attend, and we'll have three more weeks after Thanksgiving if you are interested in a more personal, intimate time of fellowship. We're having a Craft Day event on Sat., Dec. 8th as well if you are looking for multiple types of building relationships and having fun! I'll stop now as I'm sure this is a very long message, but I really love my church and love to tell people about it! (oh, and if you want to listen to sermons, they are online too - my husband is the pastor - I probably should mention that just because sometimes if I don't people are surprised when they see that my last name matches his and I didn't say anything).
Hope to meet you and already praying you find a good, spiritual home here!
