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.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did You Know..that the U.S. Supreme Court's this past week in ruled in the Little
Sisters of the Poor case, Zubik v. Burwell, and six other related cases that requiring the
federal government to stop ignoring religious charities core beliefs? The religious
charities had faced extreme fines for refusing to provide insurance coverage for drugs
that violate their religious beliefs. The Supreme Court vacated seven lower court
decisions that had ruled against the religious charities. In so doing, the Supreme Court
vindicated the religious charities claim that the government had substantially burdened
their religious beliefs. In other words, the federal government cannot tell religious
charities what their beliefs can be, as the government has been doing for the past five
years. Furthermore, in the supplemental briefing that the Court ordered in April, the
government finally acknowledged that it had less restrictive means for accomplishing
its interest other than forcing the religious charities to abandon their core religious
beliefs.
