W E LCO ME

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.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know that In response to the release of undercover videos highlighting Planned Parenthood's aggressive involvement in the harvesting and marketing of fetal body parts, chairmen of Government Operations committees in both the Tennessee House and Senate are preparing to request an investigation of Planned Parenthood's practices in our state. "The gruesome videos released by the Center for Medical Progress have implications at Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide, including those located here in Tennessee," said Senator Mike Bell (R-Riceville.) "The executives filmed were in national leadership roles in the company. We want the facts about who is watching to ensure that the trafficking of baby parts is not happening in Tennessee and whether or not we need additional rules and regulations to make sure federal and state laws against this horrific practice are enforced."

WORSHIP MINISTRIES

Choir Practice tonight from 4:45pm to 5:45pm

Volunteers Needed We are looking for volunteers to work in our tech dept. to help with sound and projection for worship. This is a great way to serve and we will provide all needed training.

See Pastor Geron if you are interested or email him geron@estillnaz.org

NAZARENE MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL

New Missionary Books/CDs are HERE!! There are 6 adult books and 6 childrens books. A sign-out sheet is available at the NMI table in the hallway. Dont read? No problem! We have the books on CD, too. The sign-out sheet helps us keep a count of the number of books/cds read/listened to. This is important for our end of the year reports. For questions, see Darlene Gilliam.

Book Review: Once Upon an Island By Bessie Black Bob and Bessie Black were content and fulfilled. They had their farm and at middle age, their lives were all planned out...or so they thought. When God began placing missions on their hearts, they were confused. After all, they werent called to preach and teach. Bob was a farmer and handyman, not a pastor. Then the adventure began! These farmers learned that God can use the gifts Hes given us in unexpected ways, when were willing to use those gifts for the purposes He chooses. A fun, fascinating read!

Annual Church Picnic at Tims Ford State Park Sunday, August 23rd - Mark your calendars!
