Over
the last week or so, some may have noticed that something is not
quite right at Mission Church of God in Lincoln. The building at 601
Pulaski Street is missing some of the parapet. According to Carrie
Groves, a member of the church, the high winds on April 25th blew in
the exterior wall. The bricks then fell through the roof of the
building and into the church interior. Groves noted that it was
quite a sight with the rain coming in through the roof and into the
church. Ami Krywyn of the church noted that the bricks damaged the
roof and several trusses. She said that inspections and assessments
have already been done and the repair of the building. Though no
time is a good time for this type of experience, it is noteworthy
that because of Covid-19 church activities are on hold right now.

Martin Red Bull Racing go on Dutch road trip
This weekend was supposed to be the first Dutch Grand Prix for
35 years, and Max Verstappen’s first home Grand Prix in the
Netherlands. But with the race postponed because of the current
health circumstances, Verstappen and his teammate Alex Albon
went on a special road trip to Circuit Zandvoort in two Red Bull
Racing RB7s and RB8s. It was a high-speed chase through some
iconic Dutch locations - first between the sea freight
containers and then past the country’s renowned windmills,
flower-filled greenhouses and cobbled streets of The Hague. The
filming, completed before the current restrictions were
implemented, was a massive logistical undertaking. // Max
