Snaz Uth, in conjunction with our church, Summerside Nazarene, is selling bottles of water for a suggested donation of $5.

All proceeds will be sent to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries International to provide relief for those in Haiti who are rebuilding their lives after the 7.0 earthquake that struck on Tuesday, January 12.

NCM confirmed that before the earthquake, $1 provided clean water for 1 person for 1 year.  This means that by the purchase of 1 bottle of water, your gift may provide clean water for 5 people who are in desperate need.

For more information on the work of NCM, especially as it pertains to Haiti Relief, go to www.ncm.org/haitiearthquake/.

To donate please drop by the church office at 156 Fitzroy St., Summerside on Wednesday-Friday or send cheques made payable to
Summerside Nazarene

Small groups are vital to becoming and remaining spiritually healthy. God didn’t create us to experience life alone. Instead, He wants each of us to belong to a community of believers with a common goal of becoming more like Jesus. Proverbs 27:17 tells us, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” (NLT).

We need each other – not just to meet the need for friendship and companionship, but to satisfy the deep need for fellow travelers to help us grow as individuals and as followers of Jesus Christ.

Question: What types of things to you teach at your programs?
Answer: One of our core values is to be “culturally relevant.”  While this means our style of teaching may change, the content is always Bible based and in line with the teachings of the Church of The Nazarene.  We emphasize the importance of making decisions in our life that are healthy for us  spiritually, emotionally and physically.  Again, the style may change due to culture and personality, but the content will always align with scripture.

Question: Where can my student get plugged in?
Answer: We suggest that our Thursday night event is a great place for a “guest” to attend first.  It is a larger program so it is easier to blend in and feel comfortable.  Another great opportunity is for your student to get involved with a Small Group. These are the back bone of our ministry and are where we try to meet the individual needs of our students.  This is a great way for them to experience community and belonging.

Question: As a parent or guardian, how can I express my input or concerns?
Answer: Snaz Uth wants you to be well informed so we send out frequent eNews email’s that include announcements, parenting tips and plain helpful stuff.  You can sign up by writing Pastor Elliott at elliott@summersidenazarene.org.  We also feel that your feedback is very important so we host bi-monthly informational meetings called “Piece Of Cake Parent Meetings”.  Watch the announcements or eNews for the next P.O.C. meeting.  If you’d like to speak with Pastor Elliott regarding any issue within the ministry, the best way to do this is to set up an appointment during the week at 436.3476 or email us at elliott@summersidenazarene.org.

Question: What factors go into determining the cost for events and retreats?
Answer: Transportation, lodging, meals, equipment, leaders expenses, and the occasional guest speaker all factor into the cost of any event.  Our goal is budgeting retreats and events is to provide you with the highest quality experience for the best value.

Question: How often do I need to fill out a medical release form?
Answer: While you can fill out a Medical Release Form at any time, begining for the school year of 2009-2010, we will circulate a single form to get this taken care of for the year.  Medical Release Forms are good for one year from the date they are signed.
