W E LCO ME

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.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know... that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) regulations will go into effect next March and state governors have a choice to comply with the regulations or lose millions of dollars in FEMA relief planning? Under the new regulations, only states that tackle the effects of "changing environmental or climate conditions" in their long-term "hazard-mitigation plans" will qualify for funding. Specifically, governors must "identify tools and approaches that enable decision-making to reduce risks and increase resilience from a changing climate." FEMA's plan comes on the heels of a report from key environmental experts, who agreed last year that the White House's National Climate Assessment is a "masterpiece of marketing" that crumbles like a "house of cards" under the weight of real-world evidence. In an open letter, experts criticized the government's "climate models" for dramatically failing basic verification tests. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change admitted that the world's temperatures haven't risen in 17 years.

THANK YOU… How do we begin to say Thank You for all you’ve 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

can’t 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 can’t 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.
