MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

May 22nd, 2026

 

Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!

     I think the Month of May might be the busiest month of the year... aside from December maybe. Kids programs, sports, awards ceremonies, continuations and graduations, not to mention all the normal things of life... May can feel a little crazy! But, in the crazy seasons and in the mundane seasons, God is still God, and God is always good. May you know the peace of Christ this season, whether it feels extra busy or extra normal.

     A few people have been asking about this "sabbatical" that keeps getting mentioned. I have typed something up about Sabbaticals in general and also include some information about my Sabbatical specifically. You can see the attachment below.

     This Sunday we are taking a break from our series on the Sermon on the Mount, because this Sunday is Pentecost Sunday! This Sunday we will celebrate when the Holy Spirit was poured out to empower God's people for God's mission.

 

Landmark Ministry - We've been announcing our "Landmark Ministry" for several weeks now, but I realized that maybe not everyone knows what that is... This will be our sixth year serving in that community. In short, on Wednesdays in June this year we are going to be doing ministry at Landmark Park. We will have activities, games, and crafts for kids, and some free items for adults and families. We will share Bible stories and songs and work to build relationships with people. In addition, we often do some small-scale clean-up and repairs around the park. Kids, youth, and adults are actively involved in this ministry. It is our hope that people will come to know the love of Jesus as His love is extended through His people. We are having an informational meeting about this year's ministry next Wednesday, May 27, at 6:30pm. Please join us for the meeting (coming to the meeting does not commit you to participating every week.)

 

Sunday Schedule:

9:30am: Worship Service (English)

10:45: Fellowship Time

11:00am: POINT Groups

12:30pm: Worship Service (Spanish)

 

Prayer: from Matthew 6:9-13

This then is how you should pray:

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, 

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.
