Northeast Community Potluck – Sunday February 12th
Following our service this Sunday, February 12th, we will be having one of our famous Northeast Community Potlucks! This is a great time to invite
friends or family to church. If you are able, please bring a dish to pass, but if you can’t or you forget, you are still welcome to stay and eat. There is
always a ton of food and it is delicious! If you want to help set-up or tear-down, please talk to Amy Orban or Cherry Pakiela.
Women’s Group Meets – Thursday, February 16th @ 4:30pm
Our women’s fellowship group continues to meet on the first and third Thursdays of every month. All women are invited to this group, so feel free to
invite friends and family who don’t attend our church as well! Meetings include a time of Bible study and devotional, a craft or recipe exchange, snacks,
conversation, and prayer. This is a newly formed group, and Irene would love your input about your interests and desires for this group! Currently the
women are also trying to come up with a good name for themselves. If you have questions please contact Irene Pratt. See you there!
Alabaster Offering – Sunday February 19th
To end our drive for Crisis Care Kits, we will be taking our semi-annual Alabaster Offering on Sunday, February 19th during our morning worship
service. This is a “loose change” offering, and every penny of the proceeds goes directly to the mission field for purchase of land and buildings. We
do hand out Alabaster boxes so you can fill them throughout the year, just ask Janie in the sound booth on Sunday morning. Thank you!
Expanding Children’s Program!
In addition to the weekly Children’s Church we have added two new programs for our Children!
At 10:00am on Sundays during our Sunday School hour, we now have a Children’s Reading time. During this 45 minute period before church we will
be reading about missionaries from the Church of the Nazarene. We have a series of 6 books that will be read. These books will be read aloud by
adults from the church. Children who attend regularly and listen to all 6 books will be treated to lunch at Chuckie Cheese! We will complete the
readings by the end of May.
On Wednesday nights Pat and Shannen Parsaca have started the Caravan program. Caravan is a scouting, or kids’ club, type of program. All children
in grades K – 6th are welcome to participate. The program starts at 6:30pm and ends at 7:30pm.
In Children’s Church we have started a “Children Helping Children” program. This will be part of the semi-annual Alabaster Offering. Each child will
have a box of their own. Every week they attend Children’s Church a quarter will be added to their box. In addition they may bring an offering to put in
the box. All Alabaster Offerings are used to buy property and build schools and churches on the mission field. The Children will be able to march with
their boxes on Alabaster box Sundays. We hope to see your children on Sundays and Wednesdays. If you have any questions please ask Cherry
Pakiela or Gerry Dawson!
WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS NOW FAMILY NIGHT!
How long has it been since you considered attending our mid-week services? While it was not too long ago that it was just a few adults
who met each week, the addition of nursery workers, a youth group, and a children’s program has transformed Wednesday night into a
night of equipping for the whole family!
So, bring your kids, neighbor kids, friends, grandparents, teens, and babies and join us for a time of Bible study, fun, and prayer for the
whole family. If you have any questions, please contact the following ministry leaders:
Nursery: Jane Hathaway – allsmiles@comcast.net or 459-0402
