THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
True love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
MPC CELEBRATES
This Sunday, September 18, Joanna Adams will be recognized as Pastor Emerita, a position of honor, appreciation and distinction for her leadership at Morningside. Join us after worship for a reception in her honor.
NEW PARAMENTS
This Sunday, September 18 marks the debut of new green paraments for the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. They are a joint gift of the LGBT Group and our Worship Team, given in honor of Joanna Adams on her retirement from parish ministry. The design and fabric choices were a collaboration of church members and Patrick Boylan of Grace Vestments of New York who crafted the set. Glory to God and thanksgiving for the ministry of Joanna Adams among us.
