Verse of the Week
For our people who prefer “paperless banking, our church offers online giving services.
Tithes and offerings may be paid through computer by going to the church’s website,
www.middletownnaz.com, and clicking the tab “set up online giving.” Gifts may be
given by setting up donations directly from your checking account or by debit or credit
cards. Those with i-phones and android smart phones may also download the “Egiving
Mobile” app by Stewardship Technology to make giving even more convenient.
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his
inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. Micah 7:18 (NIV)
App for online Giving
Android" users may now download an application that makes using online giving even
more convenient. Search for "Egiving Mobile" in the market and down load the app with
that name. You will need to set up an online giving account to use the service, but once
set up is very convenient to use.
Email and MCON Text Alert Ministry
Our church works very hard to communicate with our people. We especially rely on texting and email services to get messages to our people on a regular basis. We invite everyone who uses these services to join these services: If you would like to receive text notices.
1.Send a message to 40650 that says “Join MCON” (without quotation marks) (Also, turn
of automatic signature if on)
2.You will receive a message back asking you to reply “yes” to confirm.
*NOTE: If you are failing to receive our church emails or text alerts please let us know.
Daily Devotional
The Daily Office. Daily prayers and Bible Readings for the church. Available every Sunday in the foyer on the information table next to sanctuary doors. You may also download
the “Youversion Bible App” on your smart phones and tablets by searching “Bible” in your
app store or going to bible.com/app in your browser. You will then be able to find our
church’s “Daily Office” by going to the “Live” section of the app and search our zip code
47356.

Prayer Focus—the Syrian Refugees
Please pray for the Syrian refugees. Pray many will come to Jesus, the true source of hope

Jesus Christ.

Alabaster
Trunks for Our Annual Trunk or Treat
Adult Sunday School
Our semi-annual Alabaster Offering will be received the rest of
this month. Additional alabaster boxes are available at the
display in the foyer. The monies received through these special
offerings are used to purchase land and buildings for Church of
the Nazarene missions around the world. Thank you in advance for your
generosity!
Every year it is our treat to provide a safe and fun
evening for our community. The main attraction is
always our people dressed up with their trunks
decorated for Halloween. It is our hope that we can
have 40 trunks to provide candy for the children of our surrounding community to
enjoy. If you are one of those that enjoy dressing up and greeting the kids as they
come through the line of trunks please sign-up at the welcome center desk or contact
the church office at 354-2327.

Is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our
hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of
Jesus rather than psychological theory. Twenty years ago,
Saddleback Church launched Celebrate Recovery with 43
people. It was designed as a program to help those struggling
with hurts, habits and
hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ
through a recovery process. Celebrate Recovery is now in over 20,000 churches worldwide!
