GALLATIN HISPANIC CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE! SPANISH SPEAKING SERVICE HELD 6 PM EVERY SUNDAY EVENING WITH PASTOR JUAN BAZAN!

UPCOMING EVENTS:

(Special Services are planned for our "Wonder-Full Weekend" with Scott Humston, March 19-21 - see more info below)

"Wonder-Full Weekend" with Scott Humston, March 19-21... (I have attached a list of specific ways for you to pray for this event - please use it!)

We are excited about this special weekend of outreach March 19-21! Master Magician and Christian evangelist Scott Humston will present a "Wonder-Full Weekend" (www.thewonder-fullweekend.com

) at our church and we are asking you to support it with your prayers, attendance, and most of all... getting the word out to our community. Invite your friends and neighbors! Soon, you will see DVD clips, posters, and brochures advertising this event. We plan to mail at least 3,000 brochures to our neighbors. The purpose is to reach as many people as possible with the Good News of Jesus! Here's the schedule:

Friday, March 19 at 7pm: "Magic & Fun for Everyone" (a Family Magic Show with a Message) - Friday night is for the entire family (nursery is available for all services).

Saturday, March 20 at 7pm: "Paranormal" - During the first half of this program, Scott will entertain with astounding feats of “mental” magic and illusion. This program will be particularly effective for youth (12 and up), although ALL adults will benefit from the STRONG message. This presentation has been highly acclaimed by scientists, ministers, and even other magicians as one of the most entertaining and baffling presentations being seen on the stage today. You will learn the solid, Biblical answers to questions about astrology, fortune telling, contacting the dead, reincarnation, psychics, and many other perplexing mysteries of our time. We will have special activities in the gym for kids on Saturday night!

Sunday at 8:30am; 10:45am; & 6pm: "Magic with a Message" - Scott will use magic & illusion and preach an evangelistic message in our AM & PM services (No Sunday School on March 21)

Please begin praying for Scott and those who will attend these services!

Pastor's Weekly Update--March 9, 2010

Here's another reflection on the Cross from Calvin Miller. Read his words slowly, then again. Thank God for the gift of His Son!

"Once upon a tree, our Savior bled a royal river of access, whose rich flood ended in eternity. Drop by drop his war against sin drove back the forces of hell until every drop was gone. 'It is finished,' cried the Son, and the angels broke the universal hush with the battle cry of human liberation. His ghastly task finished all and left us with nothing else to do but lower our eyes and whisper 'miserere' -- have mercy upon us. So I bow my head and bend my knee before this mighty carpenter-conqueror. His place of dying lies at a fork in life's roads. Hell lies down one avenue and heaven up the other; and where the turnpike splits, hangs the Savior who illuminates my choice of destinies. I must stop where these two roads diverge and, like Bunyan's Pilgrim, look up into that faithful, thorn-ringed face. I cannot look too long, for just the shortest glance causes me to cast my eyes downward and beg him answer one question: Is all of this for me?" (Once Upon a Tree, 23-24).

Thanks...

I wanted to thank you again for your wonderful participation last Sunday night at our combined worship with First Baptist Winchester! We had a great turnout, and I was so proud of all involved. Thanks to Pastor Steve Oldham for helping make these kinds of events happen, to Pastor Glenna for her leadership of our choir and ensembles, and to all who attended, brought food, etc. It was a good night, and we have plans to continue partnering with Pastor Derrick Jackson and the FBC congregation for other ministries & events. They are in the process of completing a new building, and acquiring adjacent property. Would you take a moment to pray for them today?

Sunday AM & Wednesday PM: "24 Hours That Changed the World..."

Last Sunday AM, we took a hard look at the Sanhedrin and Peter, and how pride and fear can blind us to God's best for our lives. This week, we continue walking with Jesus to the Cross through the Gospel of Mark. On Wednesdays at 6:30pm, I will facilitate a discussion of Adam Hamilton's video clips from this series to supplement the Sunday AM message. 40-day devotional books are also available in the church foyer for $5. Here's the schedule for the rest of this AM series:

March 14: "Jesus, Barabbas, and Pilate"

March 28: "The Torture and Humiliation of the King"

April 4 (Easter Sunday): "Jesus' Crucifixion & Resurrection"

Sunday at 8:30am; 10:45am; & 6pm: "Magic with a Message" - Scott will use magic & illusion and preach an evangelistic message in our AM & PM services (No Sunday School on March 21)

Please begin praying for Scott and those who will attend these services!
