We are so glad you have joined us today! Our desire is that God
would bless and direct this time together. Worship is an

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.

believe, check out our website at www.estillnaz.org.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Knowthat recently a U. S. District Court for the Northern
District of Texas blocked the Obama administration "guidelines" that
would force schools to allow some biological males to use girls'
showers, locker rooms, and restrooms (and vice versa). As you may
know, on May 13, 2016, the Departments of Justice and Education
sent a "Dear Colleague" letter to every public school district in the
country. In it, they asserted that a 1972 law banning discrimination in
education based on "sex" also bans it based on "gender identity" (a
person's subjective feeling that they are male or female), and that
requiring students to use facilities that correspond to their biological
sex at birth (rather than "gender identity") violates the law. Schools
considered to be in violation of this law (known as "Title IX") are
subject to a cut-off of all federal funding assistance. The Judge found
that the administration used an illegal procedure to adopt its guidelines,
and ruled that the existing law and regulation are "not ambiguous" in
defining "sex" as a reference to one's biological sex at birth, rather than
self-professed "gender identity."
