Reverend Thomas Dummermuth started a project in quarantine to put together a hand written bible where people around Nebraska would write chapters of the bible by hand. Originally, he was inspired by a church in his home county of Switzerland who originally had this idea. After asking the church for permission, he decided to start his own project in Lincoln. Since then, the world has went through unprecedented change and work on the bible is still being completed. "It is beautiful work that people send in, some of it is just amazing," Thomas said. He set a new deadline for Nov. 1, 2020 and has high hopes to complete the bible soon. At Eastridge Presbyterian Church on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2020, in Lincoln, NE.
