From the former pastor
Morning Star Community Church Senior Pastor Scott Nelson read the following statement during services Jan. 14, 2018, attributing it to former pastor Ken Engelking:
Morning Star Family. As difficult as this is for myself, Lori and our family, we believe God’s promises for us and hope going forward. I love and support Pastor Scott and the leadership at Morning Star. I am deeply grateful for the chance to have served Jesus and minister the family at Morning Star for the past 31 years, and we’re very sad to have this chapter of our lives to end. I’m so sorry for the pain of my past sins have caused anyone and as I have in the past, take full responsibility for those sins. I ask forgiveness if I have caused you or someone pain because of my past actions. We are so thankful for God’s continued grace and mercy in mine and my family’s lives, and we will continue to trust and serve him. While there is much more I can say, there is hope for you that you will all continue to trust the lord no matter what. And I will do the same.
