Gathering

As we gather to worship our Lord, feel free to greet your neighbors in Christian love. However, when the announcements

begin, please take your seats and at the chiming of the hour prepare your hearts and minds for worship. Out of

courtesy for your brothers and sisters in faith, silence your cell phones so we can be in a spirit of worship throughout the

service.

The Marvin Foster Sunday School Class

Help Needed for Calvary Refuge Center!

Next Date: Sunday, June 25 For many years our church has committed to provide a meal on the fourth Sunday of each month for the homeless residents at Calvary Refuge Center. A big thank you to our Adult Sunday School classes and youth who have sponsored this community service for so many years. Unfortunately, we now have only two of our Adult classes along with the youth who are able to fulfill our commitment to Calvary. We need volunteers to provide food, take and serve the residents. You do not cleanup, once you serve you are free to leave. We need help for the following months, June, July, October, and November of this year. Please keep this mission in your prayers and if you can help in any way possible, it will be appreciated. Contact: Becky Griffin or Doug Jewett 404-867-1806 678-618-0670 beckg73@comcast.net dsj3783@aol.com

We’re Glad You Are Here!

Welcome to Morrow First UMC! We hope that our worship service will be a blessing to

you and your family. We pray that the Spirit of God touches your heart as we worship

together. For your convenience, an information card can be found in each hymnal. This

card will help you as we proceed through the worship service. The card also explains some

of the areas of the church and the worship leaders involved in the service. Should you need

any assistance during the worship service, an usher will be happy to help you.

Please complete a guest/visitor card found in the pew pocket and drop the card in the

offering plate so that we might know of your presence in our Lord’s house. If you would

like more information about our church or scheduled activities, please call the church office

or email Rev. Luis Ortiz or Cora Johnson. All church contact information can be found at the bottom of the opposite

page. God bless you and thank you for worshipping with us!
