Ministry Updates
The Church Council is pleased to announce that on August 12 it voted to recommend the Unified Leadership Board (ULB) as the new leadership structure for Morristown UMC, effective January 1, 2026, along with the associated “Rules of Governance and Governing Principles.”
This recommended change will now be voted on by a Charge Conference (full congregational meeting). This Special Charge Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, September 30 by ZOOM to encourage participation.
In preparation for the Charge Conference, the Church Council will be hosting two informational sessions:
- Wednesday, September 10, 6pm (ZOOM)
- Sunday, September 21, after service (in person)
You can see a brief overview of the ULB and the Rules of Governance on the website.
Rooted: Growing a Faith That Lasts
This September, we’re coming back together for worship, learning, and community — and we want YOU to be part of it.
Series Launch: Sunday, September 7
Rooted: Growing a Faith that Lasts will take us on a five-week journey of deepening faith:
Sept 7 – Planted in Grace
Sept 14 – Watered in Worship
Sept 21 – Shaped in Scripture
Sept 28 – Stretched in Service
Oct 5 – Rooted in Community (World Communion Sunday)
We’ll have connected Sunday School and small group materials for all ages, so the whole church is learning and growing together.
And for those looking to dig even deeper, Brown Bag Bible Study returns Thursday, September 11, 6pm — bring your dinner your Bible, and your questions as we explore Scripture and grow together in faith.
Let’s gather, worship, and grow — together, rooted in God’s amazing grace.
Praise and Worship Night – September 12
Let’s spend some time together praising God through singing!
