"Love has bridged the high-rises of despair we were about to fall between. Love has been a penlight in the blackest, bleakest nights. Love has been a wild animal, a poultice, a dinghy, a coat. Love is why we have hope."

 

-from Almost Everything: Notes on Hope; Anne LaMott

Our IPNC announced that Rev. Leigh Campbell-Taylor has been chosen to be MPC’s interim beginning this Thursday, November 1st. Join us for Leigh's first Sunday preaching in the MPC pulpit and officiating Communion, this Sunday, November 4th. Stay for a special reception afterwards to welcome Leigh and her husband, Clarke to our Morningside family. Rev. Campbell-Taylor comes to us from her most recent interim work with Oakhurst Presbyterian church and prior to that Newnan Presbyterian, both congregations which were transitioning from pastors with over 30 years in the pulpit. Leigh has served in a variety of ministries with diverse congregations. We believe that her gifts and passion for leading transitional congregations will help shepherd MPC into its bright future!
