WELCOME

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.

WH AT TO EXPECT TOD 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.

FAMILY MINISTRIES

WORSHIP MINISTRIES

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.

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

We are starting new music.
Tonight would be a great time to join or come back!

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.

OUTREACH MINISTRIES

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.

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.

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.

Annual Church Leadership Elections

Sunday, April 19th and Wednesday, April 22nd

Jail Ministry Volunteers Needed

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.

THANK YOU How do we begin to say Thank You for all youve

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.

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 48hour 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.
