MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

October 22nd, 2026

 

Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!

      I don't know about all of you, but I love this season. I love the changing of the seasons, the different colors, weather patterns, rhythms of life. I love our traditions of Goss hayride, Fall Fun Fest, and celebrating Thanksgiving together. For us, Fall is a season of fellowship. Take advantage of opportunities to be in fellowship with the church family. We are in this together; no one has to walk alone. 

     Speaking of Fall Fun Fest, it is just over a week away! Fall Fun Fest is an event that we host here in our church on Halloween that provides a safe and uplifting space for families in our community. It is a great opportunity to get to know people in our neighborhood. We will have several carnival-style games set up in our gym and a "Bible Walk" that presents the Good News of the Gospel! And this event is free for participants! But to make it happen, we need whole-church engagement. There are several ways you can participate: Prayer! Running games, having a part in the Bible Walk, donating prizes for the games, set-up, show up and participate in the fun! If you want to be involved you can sign up in the foyer. If you have questions, see Michelle Christensen.

     This Sunday we will read about Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42, and listen for how God may speak to us through His written word.

 

Sunday Schedule: 

9:30am: Worship Service (English)

11:00am: POINT Groups

12:30pm: Worship Service (Spanish)

 

Prayer:  a prayer by Saint Patrick (likely written in the 5th century BC)

May the strength of God pilot me. May the power of God preserve me.  May the wisdom of God instruct me. May the hand of God protect me. May the way of God direct me. May the shield of God defend me. Amen

Hebrews 12:1-2a - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith

 

Grace & Peace,

Pastor Kent
