Announcements
 

1. Sunday, January 18 – Family Recognition Service – Afternoon Service 
This shortened afternoon church service is intended to recognize the babies that have been born into our church during 2025. While this is an encouragement to the parents to raise these children in God-fearing homes, it is also an opportunity and reminder to the entire church family to be involved in each other’s lives. 

3. European Church Building Fund 
There is a need to replenish the HarvestCall European Church Building Fund. Over the past several years, numerous requests for repairs to aging facilities have consumed the existing fund.  The Balingen and Briedenbach Germany congregations both need larger church buildings due to Ukrainian refugees and additional brethren from other impoverished countries that have settled in Germany. This has created a need to replenish this fund.  If you feel moved to support this work, donations may be made through the HarvestCall website or by check designated to the European Church Building Fund. 

4.  E4 Program Templates 
Two forms have been created and are available on the church website under “For Morton Church/E4 Leadership Model.” The first one is for anyone in the congregation who has a new idea that they would like one of the Ministry Area Teams to consider. The second one is for anyone in the congregation who thinks that a current church program should be modified or discontinued. If you can’t access the church website and would like to receive one or both forms, please contact Bro. Ken Rinkenberger, E4 Administrator (kenrink@comcast.net).
