MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

September 12th, 2024

​​​​

Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!

      Sunday was such a great day! We launched our Spanish worship service Sunday at 1pm and had nearly 100 people in attendance (15 of those were also in our morning service)! It was a service full of energy and the movement of God. Several responded to an altar call at the conclusion of the service. Following the service there was a celebration meal. I want to say thank you to everyone who helped out and participated. I should probably also clarify, a large number of those who came to our Spanish service came from Denver to support the Carrillo family. But there were several here from Ft Morgan, including some who participated in our ministry at Landmark this summer. It was a great day and I am looking forward to seeing how God will continue to move!

      And last night was our first Wednesday of meals, Caravan, and Language Learning. It was a great night full of excitement! Thank you to everyone who serves on Wednesday nights!

      On Tuesday our church board met. We prayed together, celebrated what God is doing in the church, and talked about future plans. One item to note is that the finance report showed that our giving is down considerably for these past few months, so the trustees will be reviewing the budget and proposing necessary adjustments at our next meeting. Please pray for discernment in that process, and prayerfully consider how God may be calling you to give in this season. There is no sense of panic among the board in this season, but rather, excitement! God is at work here, and we firmly believe that God will supply all that is needed for us to do all that he calls us to do. As usual, I have attached the report I submitted to the board.

 

This Sunday we will continue in the gospel of Mark. Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" And then Jesus has some hard lessons to teach them.
