MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

August 21st, 2026

 

Hey Everyone!

 

I've returned from my Sabbatical! I can't even articulate how excited I am to worship with all of you this Sunday! It was truly a privilege to worship with several other congregations in different places, but I am ready to be "home" with all of you. I am working to get caught up on all the things, the church things and the church-family things. I look forward to being with you all on Sunday, though I am sure it will be overwhelming! Give me grace as I get "caught up."

 

I have spent time reflecting and journaling about my Sabbatical, and I have so much I could say about it! New perspectives, new revelations, new ideas, as well as so much grace. It was a gift, but also a great challenge in many ways. God poured out his grace and blessings. The Lord was faithful to heal, to restore, and to remind me what is true. I look forward to sharing more in the weeks ahead.

 

I want to express a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone. For the opportunity to have a season of rest, for all the ways you all took on greater responsibilities, and the ways you served one another and loved one another well. We are in this together, and I don't want that to stop just because I'm back. 

 

This Sunday we will continue our focus on Jesus as the Way, Truth, and Life. Discipleship is a Journey of Grace. Let's keep journeying together.

 

Sunday Schedule:

9:30am: Worship Service (English)

11:00am: Welcome Back Brunch

12:30pm: Worship Service (Spanish)

 

Prayer:

Remember to be interceding for one another! Jesus spent his earthly life not only teaching, but also restoring lives and healing bodies. There are so many in our church, and exponentially more people who are loved by our church, who need the restorative touch of Jesus in their lives. Jesus says, "I am the Resurrection and the life."  The God who gives life still restores lives today - keep praying!
