Church Library Now Open in its New Location
The new library, found in Room 104 off the sanctuary foyer, will be open prior to the morning worship service, between worship and Sunday School, as well as following the Sunday School hour. The library will also be open prior to Sunday Night Live.

The library is independent from the church's budget. New and replacement books are obtained by using the Family Christian Stores Ministry Builders stamps, available when a purchase is made at their stores. The next time you shop at a Family Christian Store, please ask for these stamps and place them in the container located in the library. Questions? see Lois Smith or Marilyn Williams.

Recommended Reading
In light of the Church of the Nazarene Centennial Celebration, Pastor Doug’s sermons will focus this month on the Holy Spirit. If you would like to do some further study, the church library has some excellent resources, including Billy Graham’s book, The Holy Spirit, and Catherine Marshall’s book, The Helper. If you would like to check out these titles or others, come in and peruse the non-fiction section, Dewey Decimal #231.
