GFCN Weekly Update - August 22, 2012
This Sunday- August 26, 2012
Our scriptural focus will be Ephesians 6:10-20 - Holiness Summit - Be prepared. It is promotion Sunday for our Sunday School and children will be moving to their new classes for the upcoming year. It is also BAPTISM SUNDAY and we have several who will be baptized during the AM service. We invite you to be a part of this very special day. Coming praying that God's presence will be with us and flow over us.
REVIVAL - September 9-12, 2012 with Evangelist Dr. Michael Benson, Chaplain at Olivet Nazarene University in Kankakee, Illinois. Video of a chapel is available above. Service will take place at 9:30 AM on Sunday and at 6:00 PM on Sunday; 7:00 PM Monday - Wednesday. Plan now to be a part of each of these services.
Schools have started in our area, please take time to pray for the students, teachers, administrators, and all support personnel who are a part of the educational process for 2012 - 2013 school year. Pray especially for those students and parents of children who are just starting at a new school. First grade, sixth grade, ninth grade, incoming freshmen at college.
ALABASTER OFFERING will be received on September 30, 2012 in our AM service. Please be preparing your Alabaster box and your offering of love. The Alabaster offering is received twice each year in the Church of the Nazarene. What is Alabaster? Great question: The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. While we understand the church consists of the people of God and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots." Alabaster funds help provide land for many Work & Witness projects, and the entire Alabaster Offering goes toward the purchase of land and construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers.

ALL CHURCH WORK DAYS ANNOUNCED. Saturday, September 29, 2012 and Saturday, October 6, 2012 are our fall clean up and work days for the church. Saturday AM beginning at 8:00 AM to 12:00 NOON. We are inviting all who would like to help around the church with the facilities to come and join us. We will have supplies available, but we are requesting that you bring your own tools. We will be working inside and outside the building. For more information see Larry Sams or Pastor Ray they are making a concentrated effort to organize and announce the "job list" in advance of the work day so that the skills and interests of volunteers can be matched with tasks that are needed to be accomplished.
