THEOLOGY ON TAP
Men of Morningside will gather tonight at 7 p.m. for Theology on Tap at the home of Todd McDonald (835 Rowland Street, Clarkston, 30021). Topic: "Why the Bible?" We'll discuss the purpose and value of scripture in the contemporary church, as well as the diverse ways in which the Bible has been interpreted. The food will be good and the conversation is sure to be lively. Make plans to be there!
SERVICE OF WORSHIP AND CELEBRATION
This Thursday, October 7, at 7 p.m. Morningside will host a worship service to kick off Atlanta's annual Pride Festival. The service is sponsored by the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta's Committee for Inclusion and the preacher will be Lisa Larges. Please plan to join us in welcoming friends from around Atlanta as we worship God and celebrate our diverse community. For more information about the Committee for Inclusion's Pride events, contact Collier Maxwell.
LAST CHANCE - FILL "Second Suitcase" for Haiti
Donated items are needed to fill a "second suitcase" with items for our friends at St. Joseph's Home for Boys, where our volunteers will work and live while in Haiti (Oct. 9-15). Look for a list of suggested items next to the "second suitcase" in the welcome center. Contact Tony Fishpaw with questions.
Distinguished Teacher Comes to Morningside - October 10
Plan to join Dr. David Bartlett at 9:45 a.m. this Sunday as he leads a discussion on a question asked by many Christians, "How do we know Jesus was divine?" Bartlett, a renowned New Testament scholar, brings humor and down-to-earth talk about the Christian faith. See you there!
New Member Sunday - October 17
