March 23, 2025 Bulletin

Welcome

Welcome to Brazil Naz. It is our sincere hope that you feel God's presence in our services and Christ's love in our people.

Information about the church, our ministries, upcoming events, and more can be found at brazilnaz.com.

We’d also love the opportunity to get to know you better. Whether you are new to the faith or have been a Christian your whole life, we want to be by your side along your spiritual journey. Please complete a Connection Form so we can keep in touch.

For our families with children

If you have children, we have several offerings for all ages.

On Sunday mornings, volunteers are available in the nursery for children up to age 3. A room is available for nursing mothers, too. Both rooms are located next to the Sanctuary near the west entrance.

Children ages 3-5 who are potty-trained can attend Wee Worship in the northeast classroom. Wee Worship offers playtime and learning activities.

Children in school up to age 12 can attend Children's Church. Children's Church offers lessons that reinforce Biblical values and principles. Children's Church is in the room next to the Library.

Once a month, we have a Family Sunday when children stay in the sanctuary with their family.

Lent Sermon Series for 2025: My Cup Runneth Over

CPC Glow Walk

Each Spring the Crisis Pregnancy Center of the Wabash Valley has a fundraiser called the Glow Walk. It will be held April 20 at Fairbanks Park. Rhonda Schafer will be participating in this event. If you would like to sponsor her in any way, you can see her in the foyer and sign up. More information about this event can be found on the bulletin board

Prayer Cards

If you still have prayer cards for children/teens, please return them ASAP. We would like to return the cards so the kids can see everyone who prayed for them

Easter Egg Hunt: April 19

The annual Community Easter-Egg Hunt is coming soon: April 19th. We need to collect some candy to fill our 1000 eggs! If you would like to help out, please purchase wrapped candy or small “prizes” that will fit into a plastic egg. (We have plenty of plastic eggs.) Place your donations in the green container in the foyer.

Family Bowling

Robby Nance has invited the church to family bowling on March 29th at noon.

Next Sunday is our fundraiser for SWID camps this summer. Come and enjoy a taco bar after service and be prepared to donate to our camp fund. If you cannot attend the meal, you can still contribute after service. Just mark your donation by designating your money for “camp fund.”. Children’s camp is $220 and Youth Camp is $250. We try to help each camper with half of the camp fees, if we raise enough money. Thanks for supporting the future leaders of the church.
