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

"Forgiving Others"

Scripture: Matthew 6:9-15

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

10 Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

13 And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

14 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Mission Moment

Mexico is one of the oldest works of the Church of the Nazarene outside of the continental US. The outreach potential is vast. Mexico City alone has 21.7 million people within its metro area. Our work in Mexico began in 1903 and has known tremendous growth-currently 74,487 members; 692 fully organized churches.; 498 ordained ministers. Pray for leadership to keep a clear focus on holiness and for new leaders to be raised up who are passionate about missions. Thank you for praying for Mexico.


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.
