Bro. Ted Witzig Jr. will share this topic with the congregation at the Morton Fellowship Hall from 7:00-8:30pm.
This topic is for the entire congregation and all are encouraged to attend. This is an opportunity to learn about ways to be supportive as an intergenerational body of believers.
5. Sunday, February 27th - Family Recognition Service
There will be a Family Recognition Service on February 27th in the second service.
This is a shortened church service intended to recognize the new babies that have been born into our church within the previous 2021 calendar year.
While this is an encouragement to the parents to raise these children in God-fearing homes, it is also an opportunity and reminder to the entire church family to be involved in each other’s lives as we go through the passages of life.
6. Contact Information Update for Meal Committees
For the next several Sundays, the church meal committee lists will be on the kitchen sign up table to update contact information for our Dial My Calls phone and email broadcasting system.
Dial My Calls is the ‘call blast’ program we use to send out phone calls and emails when requesting help for funeral meals, baptisms and the Easter breakfast. We need this list to be as updated and accurate as possible. Please go to the kitchen sign up table and find your name on the lists and make sure that the phone number and email address are correct. If any information is incorrect there is a space to make corrections. Contact Sis Stephanie Heinold with questions.
If anyone would be willing to co-chair in 2023, we would ask that you prayerfully consider contacting one of the current committee chairman, Sis Jayne Sauder or Sis Stephanie Heinold.
