John 3:14-21

NEW TIME FOR E:NCOUNTER

Beginning March 26, e:ncounter will be taking place at 11:00 a.m. in the main sanctuary at Trinity Church of the Nazarene. We are very excited about the opportunities for ministry and outreach this will provide. If you haven't been to e:ncounter before, we would love to have you join us some Sunday. If you are a regular attender, I ask that you please pray for this service, that it will be an effective tool God can use to advance His Kingdom. We would also ask that you ask God how He would like you to be involved in this ministry.
