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.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know that a survey of 2,300 Americans was taken? Of

millennials,18-34 year-olds, only 37 percent have a "very unfavorable" view of

Communism. More millennials agreed with Karl Marx than the Bible when asked to
compare the two. Only 53 percent agreed with 2 Thessalonians 3:10 -- "If any would
not work, neither should he eat" -- 11 points lower than the 64 percent who
supported Marx's "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his
need." ; 32 percent of millennials believe President George W. Bush killed more
people than Joseph Stalin, who was behind as many as 40 million deaths pre- and
post-World War II. A quarter of them even had a favorable view of Lenin. Three
times as many people died at the hands of atheist regimes between 1917 and 2007
than all of the casualties killed by war, civil war, and individual crime in the entire
20th Century combined! One hundred forty-eight million victims were slaughtered in
the deadly visions of dictators like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Zedong. "One of the
concerns of [the organizations sponsoring this research] is that an emerging
generation of Americans have little understanding of the collectivist system and its
dark history. Unfortunately, this report, which we intend to release on an annual
basis, confirms this worrisome impression." Hitler understood the power of
controlling the minds of youth, saying in 1933: "When an opponent declares, 'I will
not come over to your side,' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already... What
are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.
In a short time, they will know nothing else but this new community.'"
