Announcements
1. Meal Committee Format Change
The Chairs and Co-Chairs of the two Meal Committees are changing the format for how the meal committees will work in the future effective August 1.
While the leadership of the two committees will remain in place to organize meal activities, all the ladies in church who serve on one of the meal committees will now participate in one large group instead of two separate committees. This change should help streamline the volunteer coordination process.

5. Sunday, September 15 – 2025 Picture Directory Photo Session Updates for Online Directory Only

11:15am-12pm or after church from 1-1:30pm
- If you are…. new to Morton Church, got married, had a baby, graduated and want a picture separate from your family, or missed getting your picture taken in 2023. If these categories do not include you, please wait until next year (2025) to update your photo for the 2026 directory when everyone’s pictures will be re-taken.
- We will be using a Sunday School Classroom where the 3yr olds through 3 graders meet to sing and have Sunday School. For those of you who may not know where this area is, if you walk towards the back of the church through the doors (Marked Sunday School over doors), the area is straight ahead. Someone will be there to give you instructions.
- You do not have to sign up, just show up, as we expect this to go pretty quickly. Our photographers are only taking a couple of snap shots per family. This is the only Sunday for updates.
