Many, many thanks to Chris Gates, Tony Bell, Rick Boller, Matt Cawvey, Ken Sanner, Bob Santee, and Chuck Swofford for their excellent service at the Ladies Spring Tea. We are blessed to have gentlemen who are willing to do everything necessary to give the ladies an evening out. Special thanks to Jaime Pineda, who was the nursery and translator and general everything guy for the evening. He had help from Enrique, and we are grateful to you both! More than fifty ladies enjoyed an Italian dinner, fun entertainment, and an inspirational message from Susan Frost. Remember to keep your fellow ewes in prayer.

These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true:

We believe in one God-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
