PRESBYTERY LISTENING SESSION
As the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta discerns and plans for its future mission, a number of listening sessions have been planned at churches around the Presbytery. Morningside will host a listening session tomorrow afternoon from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Room 201.

BISHOP WILLIAM WILLIMON AT MORNINGSIDE NEXT SUNDAY
Make plans to be in worship next Sunday when our guest preacher will be the Reverend Dr. William Willimon, United Methodist Bishop of the North Alabama Conference. Bishop Willimon was for twenty years Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Christianity Ministry at Duke University. He is author of sixty books and has been awarded honorary degrees from twelve colleges and universities. Willimon is a renowned preacher, teacher, author, and church leader who has preached and taught all over the world, and we look forward to welcoming him to Morningside. Following worship, Bishop Willimon will lead a Sunday Forum in the fellowship hall on the state of mainline Protestant churches in the 21st Century.
WELCOMING OUR NEIGHBORS

INFANT NURSERY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
