Bro Jeff Neihouser will have the topic for the High School Seniors. There will be a reception with a light snack immediately following the afternoon service and to give everyone the opportunity to meet the seniors.  This year’s seniors are Avery Braker, Macy Hartter, Joel Kaisner, Beau Kaufmann, Miles Leman, Joshua Sauder, and Rylen Tanner. 

Bro Ted Hirstein will assist in leading a work team that includes Landon Dietrich and Preston Matlock from our Morton church family. The team consists of 50 brethren and friends from 18 of our church congregations across the land. They sincerely request your prayerful support as they serve the deaf in Jamaica with the love of Christ. Thank you for your prayers. 

It is time to sign up for the new 2025 Discipleship groups. We completed our first year and were thrilled with the turnout of men and women who participated. We pray that it was a growing experience for all who participated and that all will participate again this year. Discipleship Groups are an opportunity for our church body to build a deeper relationship with one another in our pursuit of living like Jesus. It is an opportunity to invest in multi-generational men’s and women’s small groups for a year, to get to know one another on a deeper relational and spiritual level, to help build each other up and equip one another to go out and be Jesus to the world.  Please review the FAQ and Committee Contact Sheet for the Discipleship Groups that is attached with the weekly announcements.  Please click on the link below and fill out the information to sign up to join a discipleship group. We welcome everyone to sign up.

As a reminder, the reason we chose E4 as the abbreviation for our new shared church leadership model is the message in Ephesians 4 to the early church: to Edify, Equip, Empower, and Evangelize. 

• Over the next six weeks, we will feature each of the six Ministry Areas, beginning with UPREACH/Worship. 

• UPREACH is focused on our vertical relationship with the trinity: God, our Father; Jesus, His Son; and the Holy Spirit. 

o The Worship Ministry Area Team will be led by Bro. Jeff Neihouser. 

o Members of the team include: Brothers Reid Aberle, Todd Braker, Doug Huette, and Wes Sutter; Sisters Jill Huette, Brooke Kaiser, and Jessa Stoller. 

o The focus of this team will be on vertical worship, setting the tone for congregational worship, with the following primary responsibilities: glorifying and praising God, preaching, prayer group and requests, song service, baptisms, and communion. 

• Please be prayerful for these brothers and sisters as they assume this significant responsibility to guide our corporate worship.
