RELEASE Review……A new month means a new theme- welcome joyFULL June!

What’s your joy gauge reading? Is it about to burst with jubilee and become contagious to those around you or is it running on fumes to just continue existing? Joy is an emotion of intense happiness, delight, and well-being. The foundation of a joyFULL life starts with Jesus, continuing towards relationships with others, and is completed with peace within yourself. In our world we are exposed to many “joy suckers”. Properly aligning priorities can help us manage these hindrances and navigate successfully to a joyFULL life. Positioning Jesus as top priority, or Lord of our lives, is the starting point. Scripture tells us, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10). We can come to Jesus at any place, any time, any condition and experience life change. When a person becomes saturated with Jesus, joy radiates in a new attitude, actions, relationships, and life. It’s transforming with Jesus! If you’re wanting to get more joy in life, try these steps we learned:

1- Stay Close To Jesus
2- Shift Our Focus Towards Gratitude
3- Let Go of Sin and Heaviness
4- Stay Connected with Others
5- Practice Obedience In Small Things

Next week the joyFULL journey continues into the second phase. Come to RELEASE, Tuesday, 6:30pm and experience it for yourself!

[***We apologize for not having access to the LIVE Stream or recorded edition to this week’s RELEASE. The recordings will reconvene next week.***]

Worship sounds don’t just happen, they take countless hours of practice, hard work, commitment, and dedication to the craft. Meet Jeanie Robinson who is a member of the NOW Worship Team and is one of the main coordinators of worship at RELEASE. Jeanie’s versatility brings a huge dynamic to the team in her ability to contribute on various platforms. She has stepped up on countless occasions to lead, serve, and share her testimony in making more disciples of Christ! Outside of ministry commitments, Jeanie works for CSB, enjoys time with her family, and enjoys developing her musical talents.

You can come listen to Jeanie lead worship on Tuesday nights at RELEASE, 6:30pm, or contribute on Sunday morning worship service at 10:30am. NOW Church, 1235 Back Massillon Road.

Meet another talented individual on the NOW Church staff: Executive Pastor Jeff Wilkin. As an eager servant, Pastor Jeff brings an extensive background of knowledge, wisdom, insight, and leadership to the team. Embracing the Nazarene value of education, Jeff is finally finishing a Master of Divinity, while also entering his last year of the ordination journey. Many of his responsibilities are behind the scenes, encompassing a variety of logistical details, as Jeff works closely with our Lead Pastor, Terry Passmore. Most significantly, Jeff’s passion is communicating well, while evangelizing, teaching, and discipling. For him, mentoring other leaders is particularly special. To serve Orrville directly, Pastor Jeff coordinates monthly food deliveries for the county-wide ministry, Food Fellowship, and he works throughout the community making connections with those in need. Outside of official pastor duties, Jeff travels to several states and countries as a safety inspector. He also enjoys spending time with his family, and studying different languages such as Spanish, Hebrew, and Greek. The NOW team is very fortunate to have such a dynamic leader, but Pastor Jeff considers the pastoring privilege to be a gift from God!

You’re invited to come meet Executive Pastor Jeff and the people of NOW Church on Sunday at 9:30am for Small Groups or 10:30am for Worship Service. We look forward to seeing YOU there!
