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.

OUTREACH MINISTRIES
Jail Ministry
Estill Naz has an ongoing Jail Ministry. The womens sections of
Grundy County & Franklin County jails are being visited weekly by
several ladies. They have a Bible study and prayer. They have an
opportunity to personally engage with these woman. We also have
been able to help the inmates in small tangible ways with things like:
Bibles, notebook paper and envelopes for letter writing, flip flops,
laundry bags, and other necessities as permitted.
There are ways you can help in this ministry.
First and most important is to Pray. Pray for us as we minister.
Pray for the women we come into contact with.
Second would be financial donations to help support this ministry.
We want to make sure that everyone possible has a Bible. You
can mark your check Jail Ministry and place in the offering plate.
We could use volunteers to write encouraging notes to the inmates.
If you would like to be involved, please see Jeannie Frederick.
Prayer Requests from Inmates:
Heather - She is a single parent. Her daughter was has been abused
where she is staying. Pray for her daughters safety.
Kim - Pray for her boys that they will not be picked on for having a
parent in jail.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know.. that there is good and bad news on the litigation
involving Amendment 1? The good news is that State Court Judge
Michael Binkley upheld the November 2014 vote on Amendment 1 and
the State's method of counting the votes on proposed amendments as
correct under the Tennessee Constitution. The bad news: Federal
Court Judge Kevin Sharp demanded a recount of the ballots on
Amendment 1 and held that any ballots on which Tennesseans voted
for Amendment 1 but did not vote in the Governor's race must be
thrown out. Sharp's basis for taking such a radical step is that he
shares the view of Planned Parenthood that votes of those not casting
a ballot in the governor's race were more heavily weighted and favored
than those of pro-abortion voters who opposed Amendment 1. This,
they claim, violates 14th Amendment protections for due process and
equal protection. Judge Sharp has directed state officials including
Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins to provide a timetable for
a statewide recount of the ballots.
