Church guide

We hosted new missionaries Terence & Ingrid Lustana on Sunday night with finger foods, fellowship, and an excellent and exciting presentation from the Lustanas on their upcoming assignment in southeast Asia. They also reconnected with former presidents/professors at Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary (masters degree alumni), Dr. Bruce & Dr. Peggy Oldham and Dr. LeBron & Anne Fairbanks.

A big thanks to everyone who attended, shared a greeting of love, and gave gift cards or cash at the welcome reception for Scott & Kristen. And what a great group of teens and young adults were there! Continue to pray for our youth ministry and young adult involvement, and let Scott know in what ways you’d like to help!

Volunteers gathered at the church conference room this morning to put together a shipment of over 20 boxes of books for the Christian Literature for Africa project. Thanks to our NMI Council and NMI President Wes Eby for their work on this important missions project!

Join us at 10:30 AM Sunday as we welcome new Youth & Young Adults Pastor Scott Oldham to our pastoral team. And don’t forget the reception and gift card shower in the gymnasium at 5:30 PM - bring finger foods and a gift card for restaurant, groceries, gasoline, or household goods.

”We share a common humanity with every person on the face of the earth. Always have. Always will. The Scripture knows of but one race, the human race. The redemption provided in Christ is for all humanity. Without exception. Whatever our color, our language, our culture, our place of origin, we are of one humanity. The life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus make that clear. The life and letters of The Apostle Paul make that clear. The life and letters of Simon Peter make that clear. “The Church at its best has always been multicultural. That is the tradition. It must be the practice. Only then will our legacy be legitimate. “God help us to get this right.” (Jesse C. Middendorf)

May God bless you with discomfort At easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, So that you may live deep within your heart May God bless you with anger, At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace May God bless you with tears, To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war, So that you may reach out your hand to comfort and turn their pain to joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness To believe that you can make a difference in the world, So that you can do what others claim cannot be done. (A Franciscan Benediction, via Brent Neely)
