Welcome
Here at Mexico First Church of the Nazarene our purpose is to know Christ and to make Him known; to develop a vibrant, fulfilling relationship with Jesus Christ ourselves; and to encourage others into this life-changing relationship. What you will discover is a church that is loving, caring, friendly, and most of all journeying toward a deeper relationship with Jesus. None of us is perfect, but we love Jesus and we strive to follow Him.
We invite you to join us in this journey of drawing closer to the Lord Jesus and to one another.

October Is Pastor Appreciation Month
We have placed Blessing Baskets on the welcome center in the front foyer to make it convenient for you to give a small gift, a goodie, a gift card, or a word of thanks to our pastors.

We truly love and appreciate them and want to show them how much. If you have any questions or want suggestions, please contact Joyce Felt.

Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes
Once again this year, we will be participating with Samaritan's Purse in reaching out to children with the love of Jesus through Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. There are several ways you can participate:
1. Pray - for the children receiving the boxes, the workers involved in getting the boxes to them, for the children’s hearts to be open to the message of the gospel, and for how God would have YOU be a part.
2. Pack a shoebox - boxes and labels with directions are available at the church. Please put your $10 shipping fee, designated shoeboxes, in the offering plate.
3. Pack a shoebox online - Visit the Samaritan's Purse website to get started.
4. Sponsor a box - help pay the $10 shipping fee for someone who can't afford it, as well as a child in our church who has packed MANY boxes throughout the year, but needs some help with the shipping fees.
Collection Sunday is November 24. Let's see how many children we can reach with God's love!!
