AROUND THE WORLD IN 5 DAYS
Vacation Bible School is this week, 8:45 a.m.-12 noon. See the donation board across from Room 103 with final items that are needed for the week. We are also seeking luggage to borrow as props. Luggage can be dropped off in Fellowship Hall this afternoon. Join us today in Fellowship Hall for VBS setup at 2 p.m.
PLAYGROUND PICNIC
All are invited to a potluck picnic after worship next Sunday, June 27. Bring a dish to share and meet at the playground for lunch. Paper products and beverages will be provided. Contact Brooke Williams at brookeowilliams@gmail.com with questions. Fellowship Hour will still take place indoors.
CHURCH RETREAT TO MONTREAT
The dates have been set for our second annual fall retreat to Montreat, North Carolina. 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 forms are now available on the website and in the narthex. Registration deposit is due July 18.
UPCOMING MISSION TRIPS
As Presbyterian Disaster Assistance begins its rebuilding stage of flood recovery work in Nashville, Morningside is in conversation with them regarding a date to help with these efforts. We will go Wednesday through Saturday in late July or August. MPC has also made plans to go to Haiti October 9-15 to work with St. Joseph’s Home for Boys. Contact Duncan Spears to express your interest in the PDA trip to Tennessee and Brad Odom regarding information on Haiti trip. There will be a lunch meeting following worship next Sunday, June 27 for those going to Haiti, and a commitment will be needed by July 1.
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!
‘IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT ME’ II
Mission Camp returns July 26-31 for completed 2nd-6th graders. Be sure to register as soon as possible. Contact Melinda Sandkam for scholarship information. We need chaperones Monday-Thursday. Do you have one day to give to this great endeavor? And, we are seeking large tents to borrow for Friday night sleepover at Noah’s Ark Animal Rescue Center.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (U.S.A.): 219th GENERAL ASSEMBLY
From July 3 to 10, the 219th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) will be meeting in Minneapolis. During that week, commissioners and advisory delegates from all over the United States will prayerfully discern the will of God for our denomination and make decisions that will affect all our congregations. This morning, we commission Chris Henry to serve as a commissioner to the General Assembly from the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta. You can follow the events of the Assembly at www.pcusa.org/ga219/. Let us all pray for the Presbyterian Church (USA) as we seek to demonstrate the love and justice of Jesus Christ to the world.
