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.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did You Know…that ISIS is brutal beyond words? It is beheading, raping, and selling Christians. A Christian priest was kidnapped, held for ransom, and then chopped into pieces and mailed to his devastated family. For more than a year, ISIS's jihadist army has been on a bloody rampage, profiting from genocide, and tracking down Christians for sale and slaughter. It kidnaps Christians. It massacres Christians. Christians are dying every day. America must not be silent. Pray for the members of ISIS that they would come to Jesus Christ and pray for the persecuted Christians.

Book Review: Kingdom Advance By Dorli Gschwandtner & Sarah Dandge
What occurs when two worlds collide? “I can see you are newcomers here,” he said. “If you are business people I can help you. Can we talk secretly?” The smuggler saw no conflict. After all, these travelers would be perfect distribution points for his wares. And he was the one who would decide if the JESUS Film team would be able to share the gospel. If they won his favor, the show would go on, if not, they would be banished from villages that desperately needed God’s touch. Which would prevail: The smuggler’s way? Or the gospel way? This book is a double treasure as the authors tell stories about people, places, and experiences in South Asia and India.
Special Missionary Speakers Today, we welcome the Schmelzenbach's (Brian, Missi, Katie & Peyton). They will be sharing their ministry as they work with The Luke Commission in Swaziland. TLC is recognized as a leading mobile medical team and openly appreciated by both the governments of the United States and the Kingdom of Swaziland. Missi is Pastor Matt's sister.
