MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

April 18th, 2024

​

Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!

     We had a great Sunday together with Rev. Admirado Chaguala this past week! It was such a blessing to have him here with us, proclaiming the good news of the Gospel, as well as sharing some of what God is doing through the church on the continent of Africa. And I want to commend you on your generosity toward him, as you all gave about $2700 in the deputation offering for him.  For those of you who missed Faith Promise Sunday, it is not too late to fill out your Faith Promise Pledge card! There are more available this week, and I encourage you to watch the service online if you missed it.

     This Sunday will be our Annual Elections. Each year we elect board members (on a 2-year cycle) and delegates for district assemblies and conventions. Our bylaws require that only full-members can participate in voting. That means only those who have taken a membership class and have officially joined the Church of the Nazarene will be able to participate. With that said, I would love for more of you to be able to participate next year! If you would like to learn more about becoming an "official" member of the church let me know! But everyone, hear this, official member or not, we claim you as part of us and are so glad you are part of our community of faith.

 

This Sunday we will be back in the book of Acts. Peter and John are inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak confidently that they act in the name of Jesus, and "salvation is found in no one else."

July 16-18 will be a "Bible Camp" for all ages at Landmark. Be praying how you might participate! Also - we will be taking a special offering for our summer ministry on Sunday, May 5. We have applied for a matching grant from the USA/Canada Regional Office of the Church of the Nazarene and have been approved! That means the first $1000 we raise will be matched and become $2000 for the ministry to the community at Landmark.

Mayfield Estate Sale: As many of you know, the Mayfields have moved. Here is what they have sent us: "Friday, April 19th & Saturday April 20th from 8am-3pm we are having the estate sale in the back shop & garage...rain/snow or shine! If anyone would like to help us, we are low on help Saturday." 119 Maple St. Fort Morgan
