MEMBERSHIP VOTE ON PROPERTY SALE
Your Church Board unanimously presents the proposal to sell the 1.87 acre parking lot across 5th Street (across from Downtown Entrance) to the west of our main property for $3 million dollars for your approval, after considering, processing and revising this proposal prayerfully for some 9 months.  They send it to the active members of the Congregation with their recommendation for approval.  The voting will take place at a voting table on Saturday evening and at the conclusion of the 9 AM service Sunday morning.  Please note this statement in paragraph 113.1 of the Nazarene Manual:  Only those persons who are full and active members and have reached their 15th birthday shall be entitled to vote in church meetings.  This means members who are actively attending and involved in the church, and obviously can only vote once - either Saturday evening or Sunday morning.  We are on the honor system for your integrity!  Votes will be counted after Sunday School and not announced until Sunday evening's service and in NFocus Monday.

Friday, September 26 from 6:00-9:00 pm we will host our first NFCN Parents Night Out.

The cost is $10 per child with a maximum cost of $30 per family.  Children may be dropped off no earlier than 6:00 pm and must be picked up no later than 9:00 pm.

CHERYL'S LIST - TURNING EMPTY ROOMS INTO HOMES
Cheryl's List is growing! Referrals from social agencies, NFCN, and word of mouth have caused the work to double each month.  Because the 510 Foundation allocated a significant monetary gift to purchase mattresses and many people from NFCN and other interested individuals have donated used furniture in good condition, Cheryl's List has been able to "turn empty rooms into homes" for  families in difficult circumstances who are transitioning into housing, including honorably discharged veterans, single mothers with children, individuals with serious health problems, etc.  To serve effectively, Cheryl's List needs your prayers that God will continue to provide for the missional needs.These needs include:
 
1.  Donation of a  large, dry space (warehouse) to store and prepare items for delivery. (We've outgrown Eddie's 2-car garage!)
2.  Donations of furniture in good condition and funds to purchase mattresses and other household items.  (PayPal or in church offering)
3.  Volunteers with strong backs to help with furniture pickup and deliveries, usually in the evening.
 Leave a message at 838-2197 to donate or volunteer.  Thank you for your continued support!
