BULLETIN
March 1, 2026
I want to thank everyone who helped with this year’s missions conference, and praise the Lord for His provision! Our goal was $25,000 to provide a car for Pastor “D” in Haiti, and we’ve raised $19,422 so far. You can still give by marking “Missions Conference Offering” at the offering boxes or online at morningside.org/missions today.
This morning, we celebrate Communion. If you’re a believer living in obedience to Jesus, I invite you to join us. Prepackaged elements are at the entrances. Tonight is a special farewell service and reception for Pastor Webb and his family celebrating his ministry for nearly 30 years leading our youth group. As announced last week, our March 11 prayer meeting will include a business meeting for a building fund project, missions items, and 2025 surplus usage. Lastly, volunteer for Vacation Bible School (June 14-18) at morningside.org/vbs.
