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. It’s 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 children’s 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… that on April 15, 2015, the Tennessee Senate passed two measures to protect women and their unborn children: Informed Consent/48 Hour Waiting Period and a requirement that abortion facilities be licensed as ambulatory surgical centers? All that is needed now is passage on the floor of the Tennessee House possibly Monday, April 20. We give glory and honor to the Author of all life for this long-awaited victory. The debate concerning the informed consent and waiting period measure was not without frustration for pro-life legislators and observers as three pro-abortion members took every opportunity to hinder passage of the bill, comparing abortion to gun rights and driver’s license privileges and repeating the abortion mantra of putting legislators in the middle of private decisions. Pro-life members listened with patience and some eloquently defended the measure while speaking for the unborn children who can’t speak for themselves. Fortunately, the pro-life Senate majority stood firm under extreme pressure from abortion advocates since the beginning of the session in January. The final vote was 27 yes, 5 no and 1 present not voting. This week, please pray and fast in thanksgiving for the Senate victory and pray that the same favor will be found in the House. Also, please pray for pro-life legislators, that they will not be swayed by Planned Parenthood’s rhetoric and intimidation tactics and will take advantage of this opportunity to stand for life. May they heed only to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

THANK YOU… The church has received Thank You cards from the following families: Nick & Darlene Gilliam and Ricky & Sharon Arnold. Please see the bulletin board in the hallway.

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

Tonight would be a great time to join or come back!

Communication We praise the Lord that we are an active and growing church family, and we want to communicate with everyone as best as we can. Our most effective tools of communication are Email and Facebook. These two mediums reach the most people and are the easiest way for you to stay informed. We will primarily use these methods to let you know of prayer requests, services, deaths, births, guest speakers, upcoming events, special needs, etc.. In rare situations we may also use texting.

If you are not receiving emails from us, please call the church office to make sure we have your correct contact information. You can find us on Facebook at “Estill Springs Nazarene Church”. We also have a website “www.estillnaz.org” which contains tons of information and announcements. Another way you can help with communication is “share the news” with those around you. This will help ensure that those who do not use email or Facebook will receive the information, too.
