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.

July 7: Faith Promise Sunday
We will be gathering in our Faith Promise pledges for Nazarene World Missions at the close of the service. This giving is a vital part of the missions focus of our church. Pledges are made for the duration of one year and are given above your tithe. Please be prayerful about your part. Nazarene missionaries around the word are supported by what you give. Children, teens, and adults of all ages are encouraged to participate. You do not have to be a member of the church to share in Faith Promise, and your pledge is strictly between you and the Lord.
Mark Eugenio was unable to fly to the US this week due to health issues. He contracted a virus and cannot travel at this time. He will not be able to attend District Assembly either.

Sermon Notes
"The Reason for Sharing"
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:29, 45-47
29 And David said, "What have I done now? Is there not a cause?"
45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord''s, and He will give you into our hands."
