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. W H AT TO E X P E C T TO D 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.

COMMUNITY LIFE
MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did You Know that Saudi Arabia continues to climb the charts of
faith-based hostility? In the annual report by the U.S. Commission
on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), the USCIRF admonished
President Obama to "work toward promoting religious freedom in
countries like China, Iran, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia."
America, the Commission scolds, has not prioritized religious
liberty enough in foreign policy -- fanning the flame of even wider
abuses. Chief among its complaints is that the U.S. hasn't blocked
visas for religious rights violators. Instead, thanks to the lax
attitude at the State Department, enemies of freedom continue to
stream into the country, while innocent Christians like Iraqi nun,
Sister Diana Momeka, are initially and inexplicably denied entry.
"Directly related to identifying and barring from entry severe
religious freedom violators, IRFA also requires the President to
determine the specific officials responsible for violations of
religious freedom engaged in or tolerated by governments... and
when applicable and to the extent practicable, publish the names of
these officials in the Federal Register." Among other things, the
report calls on the U.S. to "train its officials, foreign service
officers, and military service members and chaplains more on
international religious liberty." The newly appointed
Ambassador-At-Large for International Religious Liberty was left
vacant by the White House for almost three years. The world can't
heed the cry for freedom if its biggest defenders are silent. All
nations, USCIRF Chair Katrina Swett warned, "should care about
abuses beyond their borders, not only for humanitarian reasons, but
because what goes on in other nations rarely remains there. In the
long run, there is only one permanent guarantor of the safety,
security, and survival of the persecuted and vulnerable. It is the
full recognition of religious freedom."
Crisis Care Kits Crisis Care Kits are being used in Nepal right
now. You can help Nazarene Compassionate Ministries with this
effort by donating CCKs. Two gallon zip lock bags are available at
the NMI table in the hallway. A list is available in each bag and
MUST be filled with no deviations or substitutions. Deviating from
this list can cause an entire shipment to be rejected in
customs.
Last day to turn in kits: June 28th Our Goal is 100 kits!
