First Church of the Nazarene
Rooted
Do you ever feel restless? We've all had nights where we tossed and turned. There are times when we've had trouble getting to sleep. But, deeper than our sleep schedules there is a pervading restlessness in our world. Jesus clearly told us, “In this world you will have trouble…” It is easy for the turbulence around us to seep into our spirit. The storms we experience in this life can become the storms within our soul. How can we find real rest in a restless world? Taking vacation is nice, but no number of “days off” will bring the rest and peace that we seek. As St. Augustine prayed, “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds rest in You.” It is only as we root our whole self in Him – our past, present and future; our hopes, dreams and ambition; our pain, challenges and brokenness – that there is true peace. Join us this Sunday as we continue to explore what it means to live Fruit-full Lives.
Freedom Celebration
Come celebrate our freedom with the NazFamily! Everyone is invited to gather at Howard & Sally Callender's property on Saturday, July 2nd. We will be eating @ 6:00pm, but you are welcome to come out anytime that afternoon. There will be fishing, swimming, horseback riding, a time of worship and, of course, fireworks (if permitted). Fun for the whole family! If you need direction or more information, contact the church office at church@nazfamily.org Hope to see you there!
No Men's Breakfast
We won't have our monthly Men's Breakfast this week. Instead, we encourage all the guys to gather your family and friends and join us for our NazFamily Freedom Celebration on Saturday evening.
Making Waves VBS
Join the fun August 2 - 5 from 6:00 - 8:30pm. 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.
Back to School Drive
We are partnering with Tate's Place for a community wide back to school event that will take place on August 7th. They have asked our church to collect hair care and toiletry products that can be handed out to families on that day. You can drop those items off in the foyer or at the church office. WOW
