THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, "I can't." - Oswald Chambers
THE CHOIR WILL LOOK COOLER COME SUNDAY…LITERALLY
Due to the heat and elevated temperatures in the Chancel, our choir is going “sans robes” for August. They’ll re-robe in September and as always, we thank our choir for their wonderful leadership in worship!
“This I Believe…”
These words prompt various responses from all of us. Some think of Starbucks cups, others of Edward R. Murrow, and many of us remember a service at MPC where our fellow congregants told us what they held as core values. We will repeat This I Believe as our 11 a.m. worship this Sunday, August 7. This year’s homilies will be delivered by Jennye Guy, Bill Means and Ruthlyn Newell. Don’t miss this chance to hear what Jennye, Bill and Ruthlyn believe!
New Member Sunday
Are you thinking about joining Morningside Church? Sunday, August 14 is a great time to do it? Plan to attend the Inquirers’ Class that Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in the Session Room. Please be in touch with Baron Mullis (404.876.7396, x11 or baron.mullis@morningsidepc.org) to let him know of your interest.
CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
The Session has called a congregational meeting following worship on Sunday, August 14. The purpose of this meeting is to allow Morningside to vote on extending the honor of "Pastor Emerita" to the Rev. Joanna Adams for her service to Morningside. Following the affirmative vote, we will celebrate this milestone with Joanna and Al on September 18 following worship.
Sunday School Kick Off
In just a few days, many of the children of MPC start back to school! Here at Morningside, we begin our Sunday School year on Sunday, August 14 at 9:45 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to this hour of fun with light breakfast items. Jonah’s Whale will headline the game corner! Crafts and dress-up areas that will take you back to VBS and look ahead to Big Fun days. Our "Bread for the Journey" outreach will be available to showcase how children at MPC participate in mission. And, the kids will get a chance to try their hands at chimes. Once we dedicate the new school year, our children are then invited to start the school year in their “new” age groups.
