We definitely enjoy the worship time as our ministry team leads us in songs of praise, and where our pastor, Bro. Ken McMeans, inspires us as we delve into God's Word. Come and study with us as we celebrate our God, knowing He really cares for us so much He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save us. Focus on growth in Jesus as we continue in Summer 2022, as our pastor reminds us every Sunday, Jesus is coming soon!

“Be kind to one another…” ~ Ephesians 4:32a
This weeks challenge is to practice at least one radical act of random kindness each day. It can be a simple as buying someone coffee, writing an encouraging note, or a kind word to a stranger. You could make a meal, buy someone dinner, or take time to really listen. Let's plant seeds of kindness and be a part of kingdom growth in our community.
Rooted
“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” ~ Psalm 100:5
When we are Rooted in the Spirit we will experience God's goodness and faithfulness in greater measure in our lives. Join us this Sunday as we continue to grow together.

Making Waves VBS
Join the fun August 2 to 5 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. In this wet and wild VBS, kids learn that what they do today can change the world around them. When we put your trust in Jesus, we can “make waves” because of His Spirit living inside us. Through fun activities, engaging lessons, and God's Word, we'll help kids understand how they can share God's love with the people around them. You can find the registration link on our website: www.nazfamily.org or our FaceBook page.
