Seasons of fellowship and service at MFC

While the cold days of winter are gone for now, they certainly reminded us of our dependence on the Lord. He is in charge of each day and we pray that we will make the most of each day he gives us.

Morris Fellowship Chapel celebrated a wonderful Christmas season, including many entertaining programs. We held a Christmas banquet, a brunch on Christmas morning, and a Sunday school program. Of course, many family gatherings took place as well. It was good to be together.

As a church family, we have also had a season of many moves. It was exciting for the pastor Jeff and Laural Ann Plett to move to a new home. The church guys pitched in to make this move very doable, arriving with many trucks and family. After a noon meal, most of the work was done. This was a good start; the next move was at the home of Bill and Joyce Siemens who moved to Winnipeg. Then, it was time for James and Arletta Boulton to move to Morris from their farm. By this time, the moving crew was so well trained, the move took only two hours! It is wonderful to have ambitious, strong men and women in church to share the work.

We have also recently had Greg Carpan come on as assistant pastor. He will assist with Bible studies, preaching, and other activities.

At a Valentine’s party, we had a fun game with four couples involved. The winners were those who knew their spouse best, with a gift card prize. The youngsters loved the cookies!

It has been so interesting to have Pastors Jeff and Greg speak alternately on the book of Colossians, with a challenge to the congregation to memorize some of the many important verses.
