WELCOME

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.

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.

believe, check out our website at www.estillnaz.org.

"STAR TRIP : Our Faith Awakens"

Begins Wednesday, January 6th at 6:30pm
MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did You Know... that if there's anyone busier than Santa, it's Rep.
Hal Rogers (R-Ky.)? As Chair of the House Appropriations Committee,
it's up to him to make sure the government's stockings get stuffed for
next year. That means another working weekend for he and the budget
negotiators, who've been plodding through hundreds of pages of
spending legislation before its release next week. At $1.1 trillion, the
bundle of appropriations bills is longer than your average Christmas
list, and significantly more expensive. Thanks to former House Speaker
John Boehner (R-Ohio), Democrats got the bump in spending they
wanted earlier this fall. It's deciding what to do with it that gets tricky.
And most of the complication comes in -- not with the bill text itself, but
the dozens of policy riders awaiting their fate. These are the political
barnacles that sometimes latch on to massive spending bills. In this
case, those riders could include some important pro-life, refugee, tax,
and gun measures that could make the process a lot more explosive
than the time left will allow.
