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.

YOUTH MINISTRIES MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know polling has its place, but generally speaking, candidates don't lead the voters -- voters lead them? Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) stated his opinion that "There is no federal constitutional right to same sex marriage. There isn't such a right. You have to have a ridiculous reading of the U.S. Constitution to reach the conclusion that people have a right to marry someone of the same sex." Other stalwarts like Governor Mike Huckabee and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), haven't budged from their position. While conservatives are usually blamed for fixating on marriage, Senator Cruz fired back that it's actually liberals who "are obsessed with mandatory gay marriage in all 50 states." Governor Scott Walker (R-Wisc.) stated "Let me be clear, I believe marriage is between one man and one woman,.,,,,. I still hold out hope that the Supreme Court will rule, as has been the tradition in the past, that the states are the places that get to define what marriage is. If for some reason they don't ... I believe it's reasonable for the people of America to consider a constitutional amendment that would affirm the ability of states to do just that." Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) refused to comment on the issue. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) stated "To those who say, on the Republican side, we need to abandon social conservatism so quit talking about these issues because you can't win an election. Here's my response. You don't know what you're talking about." These candidates understand what the media cannot: Regardless of what the Supreme Court rules on marriage this summer, they won't settle such a fundamental public policy issue any more than Roe v. Wade settled abortion in 1973. Forty-two years later, it is an issue in every election from the President on down.
