Support Youth Chicken BBQ, Sign up for Baptisms and more
Dear Friends,
A word of encouragement as we finish our series on work…
“So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.” (1 Peter 4:19)
When you face resistance for following Christ, it may be tempting or even easy to retreat and withdraw from doing good. But Peter reminds the early church, who faced great resistance to not give up on doing good. So, today, let us remember that our God is the faithful Creator and commit to His creative way of love in this world.

Building Transition Update
In the last two years, we have discovered new ways to more effectively use our Stillmeadow Lane campus. We can provide greater security and flow for our children’s ministries by having them worship in the Worship Center and meet on the east side of the building. This means we have moved adults to worship in the Family Life Center on the west side of the building, which has given us more space to worship together.
We have cleaned out and rearranged storage closets, taken things off the walls to prepare for paint, moved our video tech team out of the middle of the Family Life Center, and more.
UPCOMING CHANGES
We are so thankful for the volunteers, staff and the trustees of our board that are working together to update the building. Over the next couple weeks and months, here are some of the updates you’ll see…
-new paint on hallways, classrooms, Kid’s Worship Center, and the Family Life Center
-a new kid’s welcome center
-a new security door in the Stillnaz Kid’s hallway
-updated flooring for Kid’s Worship Center, Café, hallways, and the Family Life Center
-black drape for the stage and walls of the Family Life Center
-wall decorations throughout the building to tell God’s story of Stillmeadow
Pray with us
As we follow Him through these transitions, pray with us that God will continue to reach people of every age, race and gender with His grace through our ministries. Pray that, with Jesus, we will be unified in following Him and making Him known to our community.

Missions Prayer Emphasis for May & June-Asia Pacific
Because we want to be people who pray relentlessly, we cover the earth with our prayers through the year. For May and June, we’re asking God to provide for, protect and direct the work of these missionaries and to pour out His Spirit of justice, grace and truth over these countries in the Asia Pacific region of the Church of the Nazarene.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Josh and the Stillmeadow Team
