Joanna's sermon last Sunday, "Does Character Matter?" is available now on our website in print form, audio on demand, and podcast. Go to http://www.morningsidepc.org/worship/sermon_archive.html. We have heard from a large number of worshipers who wanted to read and hear again this important sermon on morals. Thank you to Lloyd Prince for getting the audio of the worship service to us in a hurry.
