Welcome Baskets
Each man who moves out of Clifton Sanctuary Ministries into his own home is given a Welcome Basket filled with essential household items for his pantry. Help us provide these housewarming gifts by providing requested items in the month of June. See display in Welcome Center and the website for items needed and return them by the Fourth of July!

Upcoming Mission Trips
As Presbyterian Disaster Assistance begins its flood recovery work in Nashville, Morningside is in conversation with them regarding a date to help with these efforts. Watch for more details. MPC has also made plans to go to Haiti October 9-15 to work with St. Joseph's Home for Boys. Contact Duncan Spears if you are interested in the PDA trip to Tennessee and Brad Odom regarding information on Haiti trip. There will be a lunch meeting following worship on Sunday, June 27 for those going to Haiti, and a commitment will be needed by July 1.

Church Retreat to Montreat
Mark your calendars now for the November 19-21 return to the wonderful William Black Lodge. We are pleased to announce that Rev. Dr. Tom Evans, Executive Presbyter of Greater Atlanta, will be our retreat leader. Details and registration form is attached. Registration deposit is due July 18.

Congratulations to:
Fred and Becky Schreiber on the recent birth of their twins, Jackson Gregory and Addison Carol on June 9.
