Morningview Baptist Church

You will be enriched in every way for all your generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
(2 Corinthians 9:11, ESV)

Please be in prayer about what God would have you give to the Ecuador Theological Seminary In-Gathering on September 13.  As you consider how God would have you involved financially in supporting this ministry, consider the words of Randy Alcorn:

“The opportunities for using our financial resources to spread the gospel and strengthen the church all over the world are stronger than they’ve ever been. As God raised up Esther for just such a time as hers, I’m convinced he’s raised us up, with all our wealth, to help fulfill the great commission. The question is, what are we doing with that money? Our job is to make sure it gets to his intended recipients.”

Each Sunday afternoon, a member of Morningview visits those people who visited our church for the first time that morning.  They take a packet of information about Morningview and make a brief visit, letting those visitors know how glad we were they visited our church.  Statistics have shown that the sooner folks are contacted after they visit a church, the more likely they are to return.  We are in need of more people to volunteer to serve in this area.  Flora Johnson coordinates this ministry, and you can contact her or Sarah Jones if you would like to be involved in this area.

Sarah Jones will be leading a study in 1 Peter beginning September 11 and meeting each Friday at noon in Room 102.  Bring your lunch and drinks will be provided.  In order to have the correct number of books, please call Sarah at the church office if you would like to be part of this group.  “Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs…” Colossians 3:16.
