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.

Wednesday Evening Prayer

Pastor would like to open the sanctuary building on Wednesday evenings for prayer during the Lent season. The building will be open by 6:30pm. Come and pray when you can and stay as long as you want. Come alone, come with your family, or come with your friends. Come and talk to Jesus!

Trent Tofte will be marrying Alisha Stetler on Friday (this week) in North Carolina. They will be going on a honeymoon and then returning to Brazil for their “happily ever after.” We will be connecting with them when they return so that we can plan a wedding shower to help them celebrate their special vows.

Sermon Notes

"The Darkness Or Light Decision"

Scripture: Romans 13:11-14

11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

Mission Moment

Armenia is a country impacted by Nazarene missions in 2002. It’s also the country that claims to be the first to officially establish Christianity in the 4th century. Could you locate Armenia on a world map? It’s between Turkey and Azerbaijan. It has a troubled history of being overrun and its citizens abused by many different conquering empires. You’ll find more facts about this country in the flyer. It sadly has millions of its people scattered across the world – more than actually live in its boundaries. The remaining population needs to hear about Jesus. Nazarenes are there, actively doing their best to tell them. Remember Armenia in your prayers.

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.
