THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious. - Thomas Aquinas
WELCOME GUEST PREACHER
Katherine Higgins is a Chaplain and Clinical Pastoral Educator at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. In her role at Children's, Katherine teaches clergy and seminarians about pastoral care with those in crisis situations. She is a lifelong Presbyterian, originally from Charlotte, NC. Katherine attended Oberlin College and Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Ordained by the Presbytery of Charlotte, Katherine is now a minister member of the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta, serving in a validated ministry. When not working, Katherine enjoys travel, reading, Braves baseball, sewing and knitting.
PASTOR ON CALL
During Baron's study leave and vacation, The Rev. Dr. Glenn Small, Jr., an affiliate member at Morningside, will serve as pastor on call in the interim period. Glenn is an ordained Presbyterian minister and a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice. He can be reached at 770.414.5957 or 404.862.7340. During office hours, you may also contact the church office at 404.876.7396.
COUPLES GROUP
Julie Green and Mardee Rightmyer will host the next get-together of the Couples Group this Friday, July 8 at 7 p.m. at their home (2707 Pharr Rd., NE 30317). The plan is to grill shish-ka-bobs (chicken and beef) with onions and peppers. Plan to bring an appetizer, side or dessert and favorite beverage. Let us know if you're able to join the fun. As always, all couples -- members and visitors -- are invited and most welcome! RSVP to Kathy and Alan Bremer at 404.872.3001, kdbremer@bellsouth.net.
VOLUNTEER AT FOOD PANTRY
Sign up today to sort food at the Intown Collaborative Ministries food pantry this Saturday, July 9. Contact Nancy Collins with any questions ncollins0209@gmail.com.
BACK-2-SCHOOL
Help more than 200 local school kids by helping out at the Back-2-School backpack-filling party, hosted by the Georgia Justice Project for the children of its clients. MPC will send five volunteers to help set up and work the event 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 16 near Turner Field. This is a great way to help at-risk youth get a good start for the new school year. To sign up, contact Bill Means, billmeans@bellsouth.net, 404.234.9718.
WELCOME HOME BASKETS
We are collecting items to create "Welcome Home" baskets for the men moving on from Clifton Sanctuary Ministries. See the display in the Welcome Center for request items and bring them in by July 17. Contact Shepherd Tony Fishpaw 404.597.5485 tonyfishpaw@me.com.
MISSION CAMP NEEDS YOU
We have 21 kids registered for our third Mission Camp July 25-29. Now, we need to secure enough chaperones/drivers. This is a very important aspect of Mission Camp, as most of our week is spent visiting outreach programs. Contact Melinda Sandkam to sign up for a morning, afternoon or whole day, or see needs on the bulletin board outside of Session Room 103.
UPDATE ON COMMON GROUND
AIDS Alliance for Faith & Health (AAFH) contacted MPC to let us know that the Common Ground program has been suspended at this time. They will keep in touch and let us know if or when the program resumes. Thank you to the many, many volunteers who always Pick-A-Pan for our turn on second Tuesdays. If making a dish once a month is a great fit for you in supporting the outreach programs of MPC, please consider signing up to provide a dish on a second Sunday evening for the men at Druid Hill Night Shelter or the fourth Saturday evening on odd months (that includes July 23) to feed residents at Clifton Sanctuary Ministries in the interim.
