THEOLOGY ON TAP
Our next Theology on Tap will be hosted by Lloyd Prince
tonight, December 2, at 7 p.m. (91 Lakeview Drive, NE, 30317). RSVP to the church office
office@morningsidepc.org if you would like to attend this men's program with dinner. Baron Mullis will continue the study of the Apostles Creed with "Was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell..." As we prepare to worship Jesus at the time of his birth, what does it mean to remember that he died? What does it mean that Jesus "descended into hell?"
Interest in a Divorce Support Group?
Baron was approached recently by clergy colleagues about the possibility of partnering with local Presbyterian congregations to offer a divorce support group staffed by trained therapists and counselors. Each congregation is presently gauging support and interest in such a group - if a critical mass exists between the congregations, the pastors have agreed to work together to create this group at little to no cost to participants. If you are interested in participating in a group designed to support people experiencing divorce, please e-mail Baron to express your interest. Divorce is hard, and if the church can help make it any easier, we want to. Please let us know of your interest.
