This trip is also a fundraiser since the studio will pay PazNaz for each person who attends the taping.

Ladies Night Out
Save the date for Ladies Night Out on Friday, December 5.

A free children’s Christmas celebration is available with the purchase of an adult ticket and advanced registration. Tickets go on sale in November and are $35 per person.

Giving Platform
In the next few weeks, PazNaz will switch to a new online-giving platform. This change will let you more easily pay for things like Common Table or special events with minimal changes to your current giving and the greatest security possible this side of Fort Knox. As always, you will be able to give to PazNaz by placing donations in the offering plates during Sunday worship, by mail, or by dropping off tithes and offerings in the church office. If you have set up recurring giving, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you wish to continue giving to PazNaz and your recurring giving will begin to be processed by the new giving platform with just the push of a button. More information will be coming soon, as well as opportunities to ask questions and get help transitioning to the new platform. A new PazNaz app is in the works and should be released sometime next month. The app will not only make giving easier, but it will also make communication about events at PazNaz easier.

Common Table

September 14 menu: lasagna, salad, and dessert

Dinner will be served 5:00-6:15 pm. The cost is $5 per person if reserved by noon on Wednesday, and $7 per person if reserved after noon on Wednesday or at the door.

Reservations can be made in the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings between Worship and Sunday School or by calling the church office during the week at 626.351.9631.
