1. Retirement Dinner and Singing for Bro Ted Witzig Sr and Bro Jon Zeller
Elder Bro. Ted Witzig Sr and Bro Jon Zeller retired from the pulpit ministry in 2021. A retirement dinner acknowledging their years of service to our church was not planned due to the uncertainty and gathering limitations at that time.
We are now planning to have this dinner on Saturday, November 13, at the Fellowship Hall at 5:30pm with a singing to follow at 7pm. If you plan to attend the dinner, please sign up at the kitchen sign-up table.
For clarification purposes:
The Benefit Dinner was originally scheduled on the weekend of November 13 and 14, 2021, but due to uncertainty/gathering limitations, the Re-Opening Committee decided to postpone the Benefit Dinner until 2022.
2. Acts Bible Study in Afternoon Church Service
Starting Sunday, 9/26, the Morton Ministers will teach through the first third of the book of Acts during the afternoon church service. We will continue teaching through the book of Acts in 2022.
As we go through each chapter, we will be looking for key themes including:
Message of the Early Church
Actions of the Early Church
Power of the Holy Spirit in the Early Church
