Installation of New Pastors |
What a joy it has been to be at Bartlesville and Cushing the past couple of weeks for the installations of Dr. Russell Hosey and Rev. Ned McCarty. How exciting it is for these churches at this time of new beginnings. Great days are ahead for them! |

Nazarene Safe provides resources to equip local churches of the Nazarene in creating safe environments for God's family. Central to implementing a safety system is the development of sound policies and preventative procedures. You may have recognized that your current plans need to be refreshed or more strongly enforced. Strategies for fulfilling these needs are found on the website: www.nazarenesafe.org. In addition to valuable print and electronic tools, the Nazarene Safe team is available to respond to your questions and assist you in securing the information needed to help your church make a positive impact in your community. We invite you to utilize the info found on the Nazarene Safe website. Let's keep the children safe and not be found vulnerable due to negligence when lawsuits are filed. |

I Want to Celebrate. . . |
James Wilson, Pawhuska. . . Children's ministry rapidly approaching 20 kids from birth to 8th grade. Joel Heid, Dewey. . . We continue to learn about and practice prayer. We are learning to persevere. We watched a Jim Cymbala video where he shared that sometimes when we pray, situations might get even worse. But he said that is not the time to quit, but the time to persevere and hold on, to keep trusting and expecting. God blesses faith, a faith that he does test. Jesus told the parable of the Unjust Judge, that we would “…pray and not give up.” Brad Farnsworth, Tulsa Connection. . . Partnered with Garnett Church of Christ in serving a free community Thanksgiving dinner with 100-150 being fed; 3 baptisms Steven Lester, Tulsa Central. . . On November 13th, Central Church came together to celebrate our 75th Anniversary. Some who had moved away returned to celebrate with friends and family. It was a time for looking back at God’s faithfulness. Also, it was a time for looking forward with eager anticipation of the great things God can and will do through Central Church in the future. It was a wonderful time of celebration! Steve Davis, Sapulpa. . . Seeing more answers to prayers Repeat new attendees finding a home here Greater unity in the body Adult small group studies going well Moving of God’s Holy Spirit in our services Addition of new Youth Pastor Cole Weston, Okmulgee. . . • New volunteers coming on board! • New classes seem to be doing well • Our teen ministry is exploding – we now have 36 kids who come at different times. We are actually glad at the moment they don't all come at once but we're making more room! The huge SS number is that increase! David Stevens, Vinita. . . Our people are loving and supportive here at VCN. Even when finances are lower, they are giving what they can. Also, we may be starting a new ministry here, a support group for Meth addicts. Casey Hollingsworth, Miami New Life. . . The New Life Church family God has blessed me with! A bunch of "jacked up" for Jesus people! I love them all! I am proud to say that I attend and pastor the New Life Church! Scott Behm, Chelsea. . . We enjoyed our Thanksgiving celebrations. Our church participated in the Chelsea community wide revival, and we began a new outreach ministry called GUYS. The GUYS ministry provided a free Saturday morning pancake breakfast to anyone in the community that wanted to come and join us to talk about our service to God, each other and the community.
