THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Believe that with your feelings and your work you are taking part in the greatest; the more strongly you cultivate this belief, the more will reality and the world go forth from it. - Rainer Maria Rilke
SUMMER YOUTH OUTING
MPC kids who have completed 3rd-7th grades are off to Six Flags this Friday, June 3. Contact Meredith Loftis today loftism@gmail.com if you would like to go and also if you are an adult willing to drive and chaperone.
TIME & TALENT FAIR
Wondering how to volunteer for MPC activities? After worship this Sunday, June 5, learn about the numerous outreach endeavors and church programs at Morningside. Chairs and leaders of many different committees will be available to discuss what our church is doing and how you can help. ALL members are encouraged to fill out a new Time & Talent form so we have a current record of your interests and abilities.
