For our families with children

If you have children, we have several offerings depending upon age.

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 age 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 Fellowship Hall.

Sermon Notes

"Worshipping God"

Scripture: Psalm 24, John 4:23-24

Psalm 24

1 The earth is the Lord''s, and all its fullness,

The world and those who dwell therein.

2 For He has founded it upon the seas,

And established it upon the waters.

3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?

Or who may stand in His holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,

Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord,

And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,

Who seek Your face. Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates!

And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!

And the King of glory shall come in.

8 Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

The Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates!

Lift up, you everlasting doors!

And the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,

He is the King of glory. Selah

John 4:23-24

23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Mission Moment

Cote d’Ivoire (the Ivery Coast) gained independence from France in 1960, but Frenc is the official language. The Church of the Nazarene began work there in 1987 and has consistently endeavored to plant new churches across the country. Pray for the protection of 16 newly ordained ministers and deacons and take a look at the flyer in today’s bulletin for interesting details about Nazarene activities in the country. Thank you for praying for Cote d’Ivoire.

The Alabaster church will be available at the Welcome Center during the month of February. Please place your Alabaster offering inside. If you need a new box to remind you to collect change at home, please take one. The Alabaster offering helps purchase property and buildings around the world.
