ADULT: We continue our series on Peter Gomes book, The Good Book. This Sunday, August 21 we will look at Chapter 10 “The Bible and Suffering” with Daisy Ottmann leading the discussion.

CHILDREN: The Preschool Class will talk about how God hears our prayers as they listen to the story A Baby for Hannah. Both the K-1st and 2nd-3rd grade classes will adventure on a mountain top as the disciples find an answer to their question “Who is Jesus?” 4th-5th graders will learn about the creeds from the Worship for Life curriculum.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SEPTEMBER 18!
At a meeting of the congregation following worship on August 14, Morningside voted to honor Joanna Adams as Pastor Emerita. The vote was unanimous and loud! Joanna and Al will be with us in worship on September 18. Please plan to be present as we honor Joanna and give thanks for her ministry at Morningside!
LOOK WHO’S TURNING 10!
We are excited to report that this 2011-2012 school year is the 10th Anniversary of Morningside Presbyterian Preschool, one of MPC’s important outreach ministries. For those of us who have been here for a lot of those years (and even folks just joining us), it will be a special year. We have great plans to celebrate this milestone throughout the school year, so we’ll keep you posted of monthly activities and parties to celebrate!
10TH ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11
As our nation approaches the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, Walter Huff and the Chancel Choir are preparing special musical selections to be presented in worship on Sunday, September 11, 2011. Mark your calendars to be with us.
