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 Pastor Karen Lyons 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!
