Announcements
1. Kingdom Kids Leadership Opportunity
Kingdom Kids is a youth program in our church for the 3yr olds through 3rd grade that meets two Wednesday evenings per month from September through May. We have had the opportunity to impact these young children and build special relationships while we teach Biblical principles through stories, songs, and activities. Sis Sue Neihouser has provided leadership for Kingdom Kids since its inception approximately 12 years ago and is now desiring to begin the transition process to let someone else take over this role. If you have a love for children, are excited to share the love of Jesus with them, and bring lots of energy each Wednesday evening, we would love to visit with you about this opportunity! To learn more about this role, please reach out to Sis Sue or Bro Brad Kaufman who is the leader of E4 Youth Ministries.
2. Receipts for Charitable Donations to the Church
In 2026, we will begin emailing donation receipts early each month for contributions made during the previous month. Please be on the lookout for these going forward and feel free to reach out to accounting@mortonacchurch.org if you have any questions about your receipts or the process. If you are aware of family members who regularly donate and are not on the email announcement list, we would greatly appreciate your help in getting their email addresses so we can deliver these as efficiently as possible. Thank you for your help and may God richly bless your generosity! Bro Ryan Graf
