WH AT TO EXPECT TOD 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. Its 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
childrens 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.

County Jail. We passed out 175 gift bags. Each gift consisted of: one
pair of socks, bar of soap, Little Debbies snack cake and an individual
bag of chips. All of the inmates were so grateful to receive anything at
all for Christmas. We received the beautiful handmade thank you card
below and two letters from the Mens side. The letters are posted on

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Knowthat last month the Security Council of the United
Nations passed an anti-Israel decision? Instead of vetoing the
measure, the U.S.A. allowed it to pass by abstaining, sparking outrage
on Capitol Hill and abroad. As one of its first acts, the Republican
majority plans on hitting back with a resolution of its own. The House
will vote on a bipartisan resolution reaffirming our longstanding policy
in the region and support of Israel. In the Senate, Jerry Moran (RKans.) is spearheading the resistance to the U.N.'s agenda, followed
by Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) in the House. So far, the measures have
been popular ones -- even with Democrats, who see the
administration's abstention as a deep betrayal to Israel. "I have always
believed that Israel can't get a fair shake at the U.N., and that is why
Israel has relied on the United States to protect it from the anti-Israel
tendencies of some U.N. Security Council members," Rep. Eliot Engel
(D-N.Y.) argued after the vote. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.) was the next in line to blast President Obama. "Extremely
frustrating, disappointing & confounding that the Administration has
failed to veto the UN resolution," he tweeted. "[P]ast administrations -both Democrat and Republican -- have protected Israel from the
vagaries of this biased institution. Unfortunately, this Administration
has not followed in that path and its actions will move us further from
peace in the Middle East."
