THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
"Forgiveness is the name of love practiced among people who love poorly. The hard truth is that all people love poorly. We need to forgive and be forgiven every day, every hour increasingly. That is the great work of love among the fellowship of the weak that is the human family."
~Henri J.M. Nouwen
NEWS FROM CHRIS HENRY
In worship yesterday, Rev. Chris Henry shared the news that he has been called to serve as Senior Pastor of Shallowford Presbyterian Church in northeast Atlanta. Chris' last Sunday at Morningside will be December 5th. A letter from Chris was sent to the congregation yesterday with more details.
UPDATE from the PNC
Please visit the PNC section of Morningside's website (http://www.morningsidepc.org/news/pnc.html) to see the exciting progress that the PNC continues to make in the search for our next Pastor! Also, for those who missed church Sunday, we have attached a copy of PNC member Jennye Guy's inspirational Minute Message.

The children of MPC are invited to join in the fun at 9:45 a.m. this Sunday, October 31 by either coming dressed as someone from your favorite Bible story or choosing a costume once you arrive.
