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.

Jail Ministry Volunteers Needed We currently have an active Jail Ministry where we visit the Franklin County Jail and minister to the ladies there. We have a Bible Study and discussion as well as spending some time getting to know the ladies. It is a great opportunity to be Jesus. Jeannie Frederick is currently leading this ministry. She NEEDS volunteers to go with her each week. This visit is for only one hour and is currently on Mondays or Fridays from 9am to 10am. You could do this! Pray and let Jeannie or Pastor Matt know if you can help in this area.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know that on Tuesday, April 7, 2015, Tennesses Senate took its first step towards restoring common-sense policies on abortion and debated measures providing informed consent and a 48-hour waiting period before an abortion may be performed as well as a requirement that abortion facilities be inspected and licensed as other out-patient surgical centers? Restoration of a 48-hour waiting period is even more critical as neighboring states have recently passed and/or are considering longer waiting periods than Tennessee. You may contact your State Senators to give your opinions about these important bills.

THANK YOU How do we begin to say Thank You for all youve done for us? God is so amazing and we are so blessed to be a part of such a fantastic family of God. You, our family, have provided us baby gifts, money, food, prayer, encouragement and the list goes on. There are so many people that have joined us on this journey that we cant begin to individually recognize. Please know that each one of you is greatly appreciated. May God bless each of you for the thoughtfulness and kindness you have shown our family. We look forward to all of you continuing on this journey with us and cant wait to see what great things God is going to do through this adventure.

We love you all Matt, Keri, Bailee, Emily, Matthew, William and Emmett.

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.
