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 president-elect Trump appointed Congressman Tom
Price (R-GA) to head the Department of Health and Human Service? The
Congressman Price is pro-life surgeon, who, as the New York Times put it, "If
[Trump] wanted a cabinet secretary who could help him dismantle and replace
President Obama's health care law, he could not have found anyone more
prepared than Representative Tom Price". For six years, the Georgia
Chairman of the House Budget Committee has been leading the charge to
overturn ObamaCare.
Eight in 10 Americans told Gallup this month that they'd like to see the law
either fully repealed or significantly changed. Only 14 percent approve of the
"Affordable" Care Act. "There is much work to be done to ensure we have a
health care system that works for patients, families, and doctors," Price told
reporters, "that leads the world in the cure and prevention of illness; and that
is based on sensible rules to protect the well-being of the country while
embracing its innovative spirit." A respected leader on America's fiscal issues,
Donald Trump couldn't entrust HHS's $1 trillion budget to a better person. As
far as values go, you can't get any much more conservative than Rep. Price.
