A Letter From The Elders / Mask Update
August 13, 2021 Dear Morning Star Church Family, As your elders, we have spent hours in prayer at every stage of this pandemic and this last week has been no exception.

August Financial Update
Hey Church Family, This past Sunday we had a great fall kickoff!

One guest told me that he really sensed the Holy…

Did you know almost 20% of them said they didn’t have a church…
