We are pleased to announce that we have hired two children's worship leaders for Sunday mornings. Debbi Loomis will be leading our kindergarten-1st grade class. She teaches three year olds here at Morningside Presbyterian Preschool during the week and is also a nanny.

Did you know...
...that Gloria Joiner on a recent visit to Niagara Falls took a trip on one of the "Maid of the Mist" boats? If you haven't had the pleasure, these boats ride very close to the falls (often called a "white knuckle" experience). So close, that you are given rain gear before boarding the boat because the mist gets so thick you can barely see! Way to go, Gloria!
