Northeast Oklahoma District Church of the Nazarene

Dear NEO family,   What a winter we have had in NEO! I can’t remember a time when so many church services were cancelled. Spring has arrived and I hope there is new life and vitality in every Christian and every church. We have one month left in this church year, so let’s finish strong!   It was great to see Pastor Nate and Silver Creek Church on the Channel 6 news last evening!  Watch Pastor Brian tonight on Channel 8 at 5pm and 6pm!   Thanks to Pastor Kathy Cott, Tulsa Hills, for organizing a great Naz Skating Party during Spring break. They had 157 skaters and 42 non-skaters. I hope we can do it again next year!   Dr. Ken and Vickie Pell begin their ministry at Broken Arrow First on April 6. The Pells have previously served the NEO District at Tulsa Faith and Miami. Welcome home, Ken and Vickie!
