WELCOME

We are so glad you have joined us today! Our desire is that God
would bless and direct this time together. Worship is an
interactive, participatory experience and our prayer is that the
service today would strengthen and encourage you on your
spiritual journey. Whether you are new to faith, just coming back
to church, or a long-time follower of Jesus, we hope you find your
time with us engaging and meaningful.

WH AT TO EXPECT TOD AY
Worship: a time to connect with God through song and prayer.
Feel free to stand and sing with us as we praise God through
singing by following the on-screen lyrics. A typical service lasts
about 65 minutes.
Offering: We give tithes and offerings as a part of worship in
obedience, celebration, and thanksgiving to the Lord. Its also just
our way of saying, We love our church and we want to support
it! If you are a guest, you are not expected or obligated to give.
Children: We have a fully-staffed Nursery for ages three and
below. Kids ages 4-12 will be dismissed during the service to the
childrens chapel to be taught by Pastor Linda and her staff.
Message: The teaching time seeks to communicate biblical truth
in compelling, relevant ways. All of our messages are available
as podcast on our website www.estillnaz.org or through iTunes.

Response: When God is speaking, we take time to respond.

Most of the time this is after the message, but at other times it
may be in the middle of the service. An invitation is never needed
if you want to pray at the altar.
Communion: We take time monthly to celebrate Communion
and welcome all followers of Jesus Christ to participate in this act
of worship and remembrance regardless of membership or
denomination.

believe, check out our website at www.estillnaz.org.

Faith Promise Sunday is April 17th

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know.. that a horrific attack on the holiest of days 29
Christian children and more than 40 others were massacred by the
Taliban on Easter in Pakistan? Three hundred were injured -- many
critically -- by the explosives detonated by a suicide bomber next to a
park where people had worshipped the risen Christ. The target, said
members of the Pakistani Taliban, was Christians. This attack killed
twice as many as the Belgium terrorists last week. Unlike the United
States, Europe is forcefully condemning the faith-based genocide.
Prime Minister David Cameron (who did not use a spokesman) urged
Britons to stand up for Christian values after the bombing in Lahore.

What is Faith Promise? It is a biblical method of giving used to raise

financial support for the World Evangelism Fund (missions). It is a
promise made in faith between an individual and God. That promise is
based on what the giver believes God wants him or her to give above
and beyond tithe.
Every Church of the Nazarene is asked to give a percentage of their
income to the World Evangelism Fund. Faith Promise is how we raise
monies for this.
You may make a one time gift, weekly gift, monthly gift, etc.. Please
be in prayer about the amount God would have you give above your
tithe for global missions.
Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7
