Freedom Sunday - September 19, 2021
On Freedom Sunday we will share how we, as a congregation and as individuals, can take a stand against human trafficking, pray for survivors, and support church-led anti-human trafficking ministries. Learn more about these ministries at NCM.org/antitrafficking. The following video shows how the Church of the Nazarene is helping survivors of online sexual exploitation in the Philippines.

2021-2022 Missionary Reading Books
Missionary Reading Books
The new missionary reading books have arrived. Copies of both the adult books and the children's books are in the church office. See Char to borrow one.
The three adult missionary reading books are also available for free as e-books. Find them HERE. Audio books are not available at this time. We'll keep checking, and let you know when we can get them.
If you haven't read the 2020 books, they are still available. One was written by our Faith Promise speaker, Lindell Browning, and his wife Kay. Now that you have heard him speak, you may be interested to hear more about their time in the Middle East.

Child Sponsorship
|
Trinity sponsors two children, Rodrigo in the Dominican Republic and Anonna in Bangladesh, through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries. You can help us support Rodrigo and Anonna by giving along with your tithes and offerings. Mark your gift “Child Sponsorship,” or choose the Child Sponsorship fund in your online giving.
Check the Missions bulletin board regularly for letters and drawings from Rodrigo and Anonna. You or your family may also sponsor a child. Go to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries to learn more. “Hello, my name is Anonna and I am 5 years old. I live in Bangladesh. My father is a day laborer and my mother is a housewife. At home, I like to help my mother. At church, I like to go to Sunday school. I also like playing with dolls.”
The Bangladesh Child Development Centers provide children with 5 nutritious meals a week, education, safe drinking water, sanitation, medical checkups, books, school clothes, as well as social, spiritual, and cultural activities. We also give them love and affection, praise and recognition, and an opportunity to develop a relationship with God. “Hello, my name is Rodrigo and I am 4 years old. I live in Dominican Republic. My father is a farmer. At home, I like to play. At church, I like to sing. I also like to play ball.”
This Dominican Republic Child Development Center has children attending 5 days a week. The center focuses on teaching reading and writing, spiritual formation, and provides a hot lunch. The center is in a mountain area where most people are farmers or they work for the Coffee Industry. |
