The Four Continent Award
There's a new award your church can earn. We're calling it the Four Continent Award. The Church of the Nazarene is divided into six regions: USA/Canada, Mesoamerica, South America, Eurasia, Africa and Asia-Pacific. To earn this award, you will need to involve your church in four of those regions. For example, you could send a Work & Witness team to one region, sponsor a child in one region, support a project (like drilling a well) in one region, and send a care package to a missionary in one region. USA-Canada counts as a region. There are all kinds of projects and activities you could do to earn this award. If you have questions or need ideas call Dan Hopkins at 209-985-6064. Your church will be honored in a very special way at the District Mission Convention.
HONORS A CHURCH MAY GIVE
What is the Distinguished Service Award?
The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is a tribute to church people who are living and for their service to the church. Although the DSA is given through NMI, it need not be given in the area of missions. A church may wish to honor anyone in the church for their efforts. The DSA may only be given by a church or a group within the church. Individuals may not give this award. A DSA may be awarded to a couple as long as only one tribute message is submitted.
The cost of the DSA is USD$125. Duplicates of the award are $25 each. Churches are encouraged to frame the DSA. The certificate fits into a standard 8"x10" frame.
To order a DSA:
Order Online: Pay with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Please allow 5-10 business days for delivery.
2. Order by Mail: Print the DSA order form. Fill out the order form.
Note: When designating the "tribute," please stay within the space allotted--4 lines, 60 characters per line (including punctuation and spaces).
Fill out a church remittance form. Send the order form, remittance form, and a check for $125 to your regional office. Please allow 3-5 weeks for delivery.
What is the Memorial Roll?
The Memorial Roll, established in 1919, is a way to honor deceased friends and loved ones. A certificate is issued in the name of the person memorialized and is often presented to a family member or displayed in the church. Churches or individuals may place as many names on the Memorial Roll as they desire, and those memorialized need not be members of the church.
The cost of placing someone on the Memorial Roll is USD$75. You will receive a certificate that fits into a standard 8"x10" frame. Duplicates of the certificate are $25 each.
A Children's version is available, too.
