ADULT FAITH DEVELOPMENT
(SESSION ROOM)
In the Bible, we find poems, history, songs, letters, prophecy, and dreams. This Sunday, we ask if there's more to understanding the kinds of writing in the Bible than simply identifying the genre. Bill Means will facilitate this discussion. The class meets in the Session Room at 9:45. All are welcome.

This week's class topic is "What do we say when bad things happen?"

HOLY WEEK AT MORNINGSIDE
Holy Week Banners
Banner #1 is entitled "Grace of the Earth." The green fabrics and batik prints of foliage represent the path strewn with branches and palm leaves laid to honor Jesus as he entered Jerusalem. The batiks show the clouding of the sun in the sky with gray-green shading. The fabrics move from light to dark representing the impending crucifixion.
Banner #2 is entitled "God's Power in Our Midst" and symbolizes the night of Jesus' arrest and ultimately the crucifixion. The rust and gold batiks our eye sees visually interpret the blood moon with the brown, gold and dark batiks left to represent the wrenching agony of the event. Again, the fabric coloring moves from light to dark representing the power of God's love of humanity through Christ's life, death and resurrection.
PALM SUNDAY, MARCH 25
One Great Hour of Sharing Offering Received
The One Great Hour of Sharing offering helps support ministries worldwide to provide food and water, disaster relief, and self-development resources to people striving to better their lives. Show your support on Palm Sunday by using the One Great Hour of Sharing envelope provided in your church bulletin.
New Member Class, 9:45 a.m.
