"What Is a Nazarene?" Class
Wednesday, March 29 & April 5 | 6:30pm | Whether you're ready to join or just want to gain a deeper understanding of the Church of the Nazarene -- join Pastor Ken for this two-week class. Get in touch with Pastor Ken, kbushey@mantenonazarene.org, to let him know you are coming.
Easter Egg Hunt
Sunday, April 2 | 4pm | Games, crafts, egg hunt, and fun for all ages.
Manteno's Interfaith Crosswalk
Friday, April 7 | 10am | The Manteno churches come together to host this annual event where a cross is carried through our community to different churches. As we walk to each of the stops, a portion of the Easter story is read and a song is sung. At the last church of the day, a light luncheon of soup is served. This year it starts at St. Joseph Catholic Church and ends at the Christian Church of Manteno.
Good Friday Service
Friday, April 7 | 7pm | A time of remembrance and reflection upon our Lord’s death. We will start the service as one body with a time of singing and communion. Our kids will then be dismissed to the Children's Center and the adults and youth will transition to a Tenebrae service, a service of shadows.
Easter Choir
Sunday, April 9 | 10am | Easter Sunday we are having a choir. Only practice is that morning at 8:15am. It'll get you a good seat on the platform to see the baptisms.
Baptism
Sunday, April 9 | 10am | When God changes your life, it's worth celebrating! We're excited about the baptisms coming up on Easter. Get in touch with Pastor Ken (kbushey@mantenonazarene.org) to go public with your faith or celebrate what God's been up to in your life!
Usher Team
Those kind people who hold the door open when you have to quietly exit the sanctuary during prayer and find a seat for you when you are a teensy bit late are looking to add some more people to their team. Ideally, they are looking to have enough ushers to run a rotation of one month on and two months off. Contact the office if this sounds like a job for you. (As we draw closer to two services, these pleas for help will be more forthcoming. In this job there is no changing diapers or dealing with surly teens. Volunteer for this one.)
