BULLETIN
January 11, 2026
I We’re so thankful for Pastor Webb’s ministry for nearly 30 years over our youth group. He is preaching this morning, and on the evening of January 25 we’ll have a special farewell service and reception for him and his family. Teens, I hope you can attend Pastor Webb’s final teen activity this Friday, January 16.
I am excited to announce that Matt & Krisa Sands will be in town with us this coming Wednesday through Sunday. Matt is a candidate for student pastor, and they are praying about whether the Lord would lead them here.
Matt and Krisa have two children, and I served on his ordination council. Learn more about our student pastor candidate at morningside.org/news.
