W E LCO ME

We are so glad you have joined us today! Our desire is that God would bless and direct this time together. Worship is an interactive, participatory experience and our prayer is that the service today would strengthen and encourage you on your spiritual journey. Whether you are new to faith, just coming back to church, or a long-time follower of Jesus, we hope you find your time with us engaging and meaningful. W H AT TO E X P E C T TO D AY

Worship: a time to connect with God through song and prayer. Feel free to stand and sing with us as we praise God through singing by following the on-screen lyrics. A typical service lasts about 65 minutes.

Offering: We give tithes and offerings as a part of worship in obedience, celebration, and thanksgiving to the Lord. It’s also just our way of saying, “We love our church and we want to support it!” If you are a guest, you are not expected or obligated to give.

Children: We have a fully-staffed Nursery for ages three and below. Kids ages 4-12 will be dismissed during the service to the children’s chapel to be taught by Pastor Linda and her staff.

Message: The teaching time seeks to communicate biblical truth in compelling, relevant ways. All of our messages are available as podcast on our website www.estillnaz.org or through iTunes.

Response: When God is speaking, we take time to respond. Most of the time this is after the message, but at other times it may be in the middle of the service. An invitation is never needed if you want to pray at the altar.

Communion: We take time monthly to celebrate Communion and welcome all followers of Jesus Christ to participate in this act of worship and remembrance regardless of membership or denomination.

Jail Ministry Volunteers Needed We currently have an active “Jail Ministry” where we visit the Franklin County Jail and minister to the ladies there. We have a Bible Study and discussion as well as spending some time getting to know the ladies. It is a great opportunity to be Jesus. Jeannie Frederick is currently leading this ministry. She NEEDS volunteers to go with her each week. This visit is for only one hour and is currently on Monday’s or Friday’s from 9am to 10am. You could do this! Pray and let Jeannie or Pastor Matt know if you can help in this area.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know… that on April 21, 2015, the Tennessee House voted in support of informed consent, a 48-hour waiting period for women and girls considering abortion, and a requirement that abortion facilities be inspected and licensed by the Tennessee Department of Health. The bills were approved by super-majorities in both the State House and State Senate, HB 0977 / SB 1222 requiring informed consent and 48 hour waiting period passed 79 - 18 and 27 - 5 in the Senate. HB 1368 / SB 1280 requiring licensure and inspection of abortion facilities passed 80 - 17 and 28 - 4 in the Senate. The bills will soon be headed to Governor Haslam for his signature. As drafted, the statutes will go into effect on July 1, 2015. To God be the glory for this victory for life!

Are You Graduating? We are compiling a list of all who are graduating from

high school, college or vocational school this year. Please give the church office your info by May 10th.
