Annual Church Elections
Our church elections are coming up this next week. At this time, we elect board members, committees, and department heads. We will have a short perfunctory business meeting to open the process after service on December 13. New this year, we will have expanded voting hours, on Tuesday morning, December 15, and Wednesday night, December 16, and the next Sunday morning, December 20. Voting will close after service on December 20. To vote, you must be a member of Manteno Nazarene Church, be 15 years old, and vote in person.

Technology Campaign
At Manteno Church of the Nazarene, we take seriously our call to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 29:19). To better equip ourselves for this mission, we are bettering our church internet and streaming abilities. We have reached our goal! Thank you to everyone who has been praying and giving. Thank you also to the people doing the actual updating. Internet has been updated all over the building. Our streaming gear has been ordered and we are patiently? waiting to crawl up the queue to get our equipment.
Total Investment $19,600
Total Raised ($20,658) (In Cash & Equipment)
Total Remaining Need $0

Card Shower for McGuires
Sadly for us, Pastor Tim and Sharon will be leaving us to move to Newark Ohio at the end of the year. Pastor Tim has accepted a position to be a campus pastor at Newark Nazarene. As they are preparing for this transition, let's shower them with love in the form of cards and prayers. There will be a bin in the lobby for cards or you can mail them to the church: PO Box 698, Manteno IL 60950.

Christmas Cards
In lieu of our traditional Christmas card bulletin board, we are doing something a little different this year. Send a family snapshot or write a little Christmas message to jlyle@mantenonazarene.org or 913.233.6288. The notes and pictures will be displayed at our online and in-person services. Say Merry Christmas to your church family a little differently this year.
