Pray Together with Us Help us this day, O Lord, to serve you devoutly, and the world busily.

ALABASTER OFFERING

We will be receiving our Alabaster Offering on Sunday, February 24,2019.

The entire Alabaster Offering goes toward the purchase of land and construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers. While we understand the church consists of the people of God and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots."

Will you prayerfully consider your giving to the Alabaster Offering?

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER SERVICE

The next Congregational Evening Prayer Service will be held on Sunday, February 17 from 6:30–8:00 pm in the Sanctuary.

The focus will be on "Courage."

Do you need childcare? Contact Angie Benjamin at abenji77@yahoo.com concerning your childcare needs. If we have enough responses for childcare, arrangements will be made to have sitters.
