"Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven
to be the true bread which give life to the world: Evermore give us this

the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen."

"Candy" in the foyer. Invite your entire family to be a part of the Grace

EASTER OFFERING FOR WORLD EVANGELISM
The Church of the Nazarenes annual Easter Offering for the World
Evangelism Fund has been a denominational tradition for more than 75
years. Thanks to Nazarenes strong and steadfast belief in supporting the
spread of the gospel, our missionaries, ministers, and laity have made
Christlike disciples in the nations through churches, schools, hospitals,
Compassionate Ministry Centers, and countless other ministries. These
outreaches are not possible without your gifts. Thank you for your
generosity.
