: What is your favorite subject on which to preach?
Pastor Emmanuel Moon: Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. This is most central to the good news of Jesus Christ. When it comes to why I belong where I belong, it’s because of who Jesus claims to be. He claims to be the truth, and there are no other truths over this truth. He’s basically saying, I’m not lying. I am the way to the Father, and I am the life, the one who can give us not just life here on earth but also eternal life in heaven.

Kailey Reau serves up some of Foundry Social’s fare. The entertainment venue has turned a former industrial site into a fun zone for adults.
Let s get this part out of the way.
It has been a bumpy start for Foundry Social, an arcade/bar nestled in a former factory a few blocks northwest of Medina s square. The 30,000-square-foot entertainment establishment opened November 2019, adjoining an indoor go-karting track the property owners had launched four years earlier.
Gene Whaley, one of those owners, said while foot traffic is beginning to pick up after a rough summer and fall, the venue is averaging about half the weekly guests it had pre-COVID. The space is large enough to operate without capacity limits for social distancing, and he said weekends are busy albeit today s customers tend to come in groups of four to six rather than eight to 10.
Foundry Coffee at 211 N. 14th Street is teaming up with a local restaurant to bring more options to downtown Lincoln.
Bagels & Joe, a local independent bagel shop, will bring many of its items to the nonprofit shop over the next few months, which will gradually rebrand itself as Bagels & Joe @ The Foundry. The menu will include fresh-baked bagels, breakfast items, salads, croissants, panini, muffins, and hand-blended cream cheeses. The shop also will feature a full espresso bar and locally roasted coffee.
As part of the partnership, Bagels & Joe owner Jon Hasse has agreed to donate 10% of all profits at the location to The Foundry Community, which is a combination coffee shop and co-working and community space focused on helping nonprofits.
