Dear Congregation,
Join us this Sunday as Rev. Paul Montague brings the message in both services: Zombie/Gospel from John 3:1-21
John 3:1 There was a man among the P’rushim, named Nakdimon, who was a ruler of the Judeans. 2 This man came to Yeshua by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know it is from God that you have come as a teacher; for no one can do these miracles you perform unless God is with him.” 3 “Yes, indeed,” Yeshua answered him, “I tell you that unless a person is born again from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
4 Nakdimon said to him, “How can a grown man be ‘born’? Can he go back into his mother’s womb and be born a second time?” 5 Yeshua answered, “Yes, indeed, I tell you that unless a person is born from water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. 6 What is born from the flesh is flesh, and what is born from the Spirit is spirit. 7 Stop being amazed at my telling you that you must be born again from above! 8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it’s going. That’s how it is with everyone who has been born from the Spirit.”
9 Nakdimon replied, “How can this happen?” 10 Yeshua answered him, “You hold the office of teacher in Isra’el, and you don’t know this? 11 Yes, indeed! I tell you that what we speak about, we know; and what we give evidence of, we have seen; but you people don’t accept our evidence! 12 If you people don’t believe me when I tell you about the things of the world, how will you believe me when I tell you about the things of heaven? 13 No one has gone up into heaven; there is only the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moshe lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life.
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through him, the world might be saved. 18 Those who trust in him are not judged; those who do not trust have been judged already, in that they have not trusted in the one who is God’s only and unique Son.
19 “Now this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light. Why? Because their actions were wicked. 20 For everyone who does evil things hates the light and avoids it, so that his actions won’t be exposed. 21 But everyone who does what is true comes to the light, so that all may see that his actions are accomplished through God.” (Complete Jewish Bible)
***Please note: No Youth Group This Sunday and No basketball this Monday
Joy in the Mourning- GriefShare Support Group:
Joy in the Mourning is a 13-week GriefShare support group. We will meet Thursdays, May 31- August 23, from 6:30-8:00pm at the Owego Nazarene Church (Lounge in the Fellowship Building). Please sign up in the foyer. For more information see Linda Cass, Robin Morse or Diana Talcott.
Attention Ladies & Girls!
It’s a Baby Shower!
We are so excited for Pastor Phil and Laura on their upcoming arrival of baby girl Nase! On June 2nd at 12pm in the Mini Hall, all women of the church are invited to celebrate with us. They are registered at Target and Amazon.com. Please sign up on the ministry counter in the foyer by May 27th; any questions see Whitney Wilcox!
Soap for Hope: The last week for collecting!
Please help us support the unmet needs in Tioga County as we partner with Tioga County Rural Ministries in the Soap for Hope campaign. Items needed are as follows:
- Laundry Soap Shampoo
- Toothpaste Disposable Razors
- Facial Tissues Dish Soap
- Toilet Paper Mouthwash
- Body Wash Paper Towels
- Feminine pads & Tampons Hand Soap
June 5th evening we are working with the Master Gardeners of Tioga County to Love on Owego, specifically to help weed or cut grasses at the Riverwalk. See Steve Savacool or Sherry French if you are willing and available.
We have more openings for the W&W trip to Jamaica the middle of August... if you are willing and can make yourself available, please see Brad or Lori Lewis ASAP.
We are planning a mini-W&W trip to Fawn Grove Compassion Center August 3rd and 4th. Watch for more information and signups soon. If you are not able to GO to serve, you can always GIVE to help those that are able to go. Put it in an envelope and mark it W&W assistance.
Perhaps an easier way to GIVE, is to bring in your refundable CANS AND BOTTLES. We have a container in the Fellowship Lobby to collect them, and Dan and Cindy Belokur graciously return them and provide the refund to your NMI (missions) council. This money goes directly for scholarships to help those who are willing and able to GO but need some financial assistance.
Help us be God's Hands and Feet to spread the Gospel. GO, GIVE, or Bring in your CANS AND BOTTLES. You CAN help!
