Announcements

1. Saturday, June 1 – All-Church Presentation – Leadership/Engagement 6:30-8:00 pm @ FH 
On Wednesday evening, May 22nd, we will share a draft model with the church regarding a potential new leadership structure that we are proposing as one of the key catalysts to help us become a more vibrant church. On Saturday, June 1st, as part of our Church Family Weekend, the Morton Church Ministers will review some of the highlights of the newly proposed structure and then use some time to engage the church in a workshop format to dialogue and provide input to the process. We are seeking to engage the entire church body in this process: young and old, men and women, married and single. We will also review the timetable for more church engagement in the project as we move through the summer months and into the fall. Please plan to attend this important workshop environment to better understand the new leadership direction and to begin to dialogue and provide input to make it better as we seek to edify, equip, and empower the church to share Christ with the lost.
