Christmas Adopted Families
Your missions team wants to share this exciting opportunity to bless others this Christmas season. This week is the perfect time to capitalize on those Black Friday sales!
This year for Christmas, HermNaz Church is “adopting” 10 families currently residing at “Martha’s House.” We have a list of ways to bless these folks and give them some Christmas love & gifts. Martha’s House is a transitional housing facility for families getting back on their feet. Please consider how you would like to bless and provide cheer to these 10 local families who might not otherwise have a Merry Christmas.
GIFT GIVING:
The Christmas tree in the church entryway has tags with someone’s information on them. Pick a tag from the tree, buy a gift, and bring back the wrapped gift with the tag attached so it can be given to the right person at Martha's House.
COLLECTION DATES:
Sunday, November 24th, through Sunday, December 15th
On Sunday, November 17, 2024, come hear from Roger, our missionary contact in Guatemala.
Our team worked alongside his ministry this past July on our work & witness trip. We look forward to hearing from him and are excited to see you. See you at 10:30am on Sunday!
LOVE OFFERING
We will be taking a love offering on Sunday if you would like to give directly to the Kelloggs to support their ministry. You may also give online at https://hermnaz.church/give -- be sure to select “November 17 Missionary Love Offering” in the Fund option.

Links Missionaries
We have been connected with our own "link" to the mission field! We want to introduce you to the Ebys.
Tim and Michelle Eby serve as career missionaries with the Church of the Nazarene in South Africa. They are our "Links missionaries."
What does Links mean?
It started as the acronym L.I.N.K.S: Loving, Interested Nazarenes Knowing and Sharing. Now it's just called "Links" because the global Nazarene family is multi-lingual and the simple word "Links" can be translated into any language. We are thankful for our "links" to the mission field!
What are "Links Missionaries?"
Links is a network of personal connections between missionaries and Nazarene districts around the world. It's a way for the local church to be involved with Nazarene Missions through regular correspondence from missionaries and updates from their field of service.
We will be giving you more ways to bless and encourage the Ebys soon!

The Ebys's story involved spending some time right here on our Northwest Nazarene District! Now, as we are connected with them as they serve across the world, please pray that God will give them strength, wisdom, and safety as they teach and preach the Good News of Christ in every corner of Africa.
