W E LCO ME

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. W H AT TO E X P E C T TO D 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. It’s 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 children’s 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.

Did You Know... that Houston voters overwhelmingly rejected a transgender-rights ordinance, called “bathroom bill”, Proposition 1, or the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, was lost by a margin of 61 to 39, a stunning defeat for Houston Mayor Annise Parker, and the national gay-rights movement, which had poured millions into the race.
