Crossbridge Community
The prayers of the saints. Tonight I had the opportunity to facilitate this interactive station at Experience Good Friday. It gave me such life to read the prayers of others thanking God and crying out to him. This was just one of our many stations and it was amazing to just sense God's presence as his people prayed, reflected, wept, and received communion. -Rev. Galen Ryman

Freeport First
So proud of all of our volunteers at Freeport First Church of the Nazarene. You pulled off two services beautifully. Your work paid off. 159 for worship and two salvations. At least seven recommitments. -Rev. Brian Eatock

Tell THE Story
is a discipling method that helps individuals present the Bible in a way that is simple to receive, remember, and retell. More than two-thirds of the world's population can't or won't read. Some estimate that as many as 75 percent of all people learn, gather information, and live their daily lives without reading. They do so by listening and watching rather than reading.

Over the years many individuals, families, churches, and businesses have reached out to us, through our Immigrant Resource Center, asking how they could embrace the growing number of immigrants relocating in their own community.
As we shared the steps we took to open our doors to immigrants and their families, my heart was touched by those who also wanted to practice Christian compassion in the lives of those who experience the fear, isolation and uncertainty of settling in a land of unfamiliar cultures, customs and language.
As a government accredited Board of Immigration Appeal (BIA) Center, we are in a position to guide and encourage you to reach out in a new way to respond to some of the most desperate (and silent) needs in your community.
There has never been a more opportune time to consider one of the most effective means of offering hope and demonstrating compassionate ministry than now.
Please join us as we examine the needs and outline the steps that could take you and your local church on new path
mission and purpose. This is your opportunity to truly touch the world at home.

Premarital Counseling and Marital Health with Dr. Les Parrott
Marriage is alive and well! 87% of young adults plan on marrying, and 82% expect to be married for life. Expectations are high, so what can your church do to help young adults build strong and enduring marriages? One of the first steps is providing quality premarital counseling.
The Church of the Nazarene, through USA/Canada Regional Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries office, is offering a free webinar on premarital and marital health with the Dr. Les Parrott at
12:00 p.m. CST on
Tuesday, May 3rd. In this webinar you will hear from one of the leading marriage experts and learn the facts about the importance of premarital counseling and why it makes a significant difference in securing healthy and lifelong marriages. Dr. Parrot will also introduce you to a new marriage assessment tool (SYMBIS) that helps make the premarital counseling process fun and empowering.
"It is very encouraging to see SYMBIS offered as a new resource for premarital counseling and preparation. Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott have developed a wonderful tool for pastors to use in their critically necessary premarital counseling ministry. The resource is contemporary, easy to use, and readily available. I would encourage every pastor to take the training necessary to make this a center piece of your premarital work with couples in your church and ministry." Dr. Jesse Middendorf, General Superintendent Emeritus
