BULLETIN
July 12, 2026
Today, our English, Spanish, and Chinese are worshiping together as we celebrate baptism and observe the Lord's Table. If you are a believer walking in fellowship with Christ, I invite you to participate. Prepackaged communion elements are available at each entrance. Worshiping together is a wonderful reminder of the day when people from every tongue, tribe, and nation will gather to praise our Savior. A worship guide in Spanish and Chinese is available at morningside.org/languages.
I’m excited to welcome Brenden Newton to the MBC & ODBM team as our new part-time Assistant! He will support our missionaries through administration,
communications, and technology. Please join me in welcoming him and praying for him as he begins this new ministry.
I want to thank everyone who helped last week with Liberty Sunday. It was a wonderful time of giving thanks for our freedom and fellowshipping together.
A worship guide in Spanish and Chinese is available at morningside.org/languages.
