Weekly Sermon Podcast
Unfortunately, the sound team experienced some technical difficulties this past week and were unable to capture the audio from Pastor Scott Daniels' sermon on Sunday, March 16. If you are one of PazNaz's weekly online listeners, we are very sorry to tell you that there will not be a recording posted this week. However, everything should be up and running as usual this coming week. Thank you for your understanding.
Daily Lenten Devotional
Follow Along Each Day! 
As you journey through Lent, join Pastor Scott Daniels in reading the daily texts from the Revised Common Lectionary along with his reflections. Go to the following link so that each day you will be able to participate with the rest of the PazNaz family by reading and prayerfully meditating over the texts.

Special Offering for Work & Witness
Help PazNaz Reach the $65,000 Goal!
During the month of March, you will have the opportunity to give a special offering - above your regular tithes and offerings - to help fund PazNaz's Work & Witness Projects in Zambia and Nicaragua. These offerings will provide funds for projects, scholarships, equipment, and more! The goal of $65,000 can be reached if you will pray and give as God directs. So far $24,703 has been received during the first three Sundays of March. Thank you for your generosity.
