Welcome to the Michigan District Church of the Nazarene Web Site!

In response to the earthquake and resulting humanitarian disaster in Haiti, WordAction Curriculum has prepared a lesson for use in Sunday School, small groups, or Bible study. The material should take between 15-30 minutes to cover and concludes with a call to prayer and action. Included in the lesson are links to helpful information and also a link to video footage from Nazarene Global Communications.
The material and video are available on the WordAction website at the link below.

From the District Superintendent ...

Michigan Nazarenes,
 
As we begin this new year, my mind is already turning to our great tri-district TEAM Day event that will be held in Perry this coming February 20.  A few years ago, we joined hands with our Michigan partners, the Northern Michigan and Eastern Michigan districts, and created the tri-district TEAM Day.  It took our local efforts to a whole new level and has become the key ministry and leadership training event across our districts.  TEAM Day impacts leaders in SDMI, NYI and NMI, as well as our pastoral teams.  It touches so many that leadership at our denominational Global Ministries Center has taken note and even participates with teachers and seminars.  This is an outstanding event.  We are blessed to have the passionate leadership of John and Darlene Harris guiding TEAM Day.  Their commitment, hard work, time and energy are amazing.  TEAM Day is an gathering you do not want to miss!  Plan now to set February 20 aside and attend this great training event!  You will leave inspired, informed and better equipped for the task the Lord has given you in your church and on your district.
 
Below is an article concerning TEAM Day that our directors have written.  Please read it carefully and respond to the opportunity!

Happy New Year everyone!

TEAM Day 2010 is just around the corner (February 20, 2010) at the Perry Public Schools and packets have been mailed to each Nazarene church in Michigan! If your pastor has not received one yet, please have the pastor call or email us and we will get another one out to you.  Each packet has 2 flyers with the class schedule, descriptions of classes, posters, and registration forms, for you to copy.  Or you can go to www.minaz.org and click on the Michigan Tri-district TEAM Day 2010 button on the left side to download your own copy.

TEAM Day 2010 is going to be more exciting than last year!  We have Dr. Larry McKain coming to us from New Church Specialties as our keynote speaker, as well as Olivet Nazarene University's Before Tomorrow again this year! The Nazarene Publishing House and ONU's bookstore will be with us again as well as other ministry tables for you to browse between classes and during lunch time.  We also want to thank two Olivet students for working with us to create the promo DVD and new TEAM Day logo - Ms. Rowen Woolsey and Ms. Laura Gardner.

Your TEAM Day Council have put together some great seminars with workshop leaders from around the districts and some from off the district!  They have worked very hard to create this exceptional list of workshops.  If you see them, be sure to thank them.  There are over 90 to choose from.  Something new this year are several workshops just for women's ministries!  There is also strong discipleship track and compassionate ministries options for you to choose from.

If you are a Children's Ministry volunteer, you will want to sign up for the 2 morning sessions with Kim Bobb (A601 and B Lunch Middle School).  Kim's morning session will roll right into the 2nd session timeslot with lunch included.  The afternoon is filled with many great workshops to choose for your area of ministry.  If you have any questions about how to register for this, please call us.

We are encouraging each church to select a TEAM Day coordinator, have everyone to register online for your workshop selections, and then, if possible, send one check from your church for the registration fee.

Take some time to browse through the workshop brochure, tell all your friends to come with you so you can carpool, and pray for great weather on February 20, 2010.  We are looking forward to seeing you there.
