BE PART OF MPC’S FUTURE!
This month, each MPC member will be invited to take a short survey. The Vital Signs survey will provide an inclusive, comprehensive view of what energizes and excites our congregation, and our collective hopes for the future. The results will provide input to MPC’s next multi-year plan. This Friday, January 20, each MPC member will receive an email with an easy, direct link to the survey. The survey can also be taken on paper. Each individual MPC member, rather than family units or couples, is asked to take the survey. We will allow a three-week time frame for everyone to complete the survey (takes about 20 minutes). Let’s go for 100% participation! Stay tuned for the Vital Signs survey email on January 20!
FOOD NEEDED YEAR ROUND
This month, we are collecting pop-top foods, non-perishable microwave meals and can-openers for the Intown Collaborative Ministries food pantry. There is also an opportunity to work in the pantry this Saturday, January 21, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Contact shepherd Nancy Collins ncollins0209@gmail.com to volunteer or for more information.
WOMEN’S ROUNDTABLE
Women's Roundtable promises to be very special on Monday, January 23, as Morningside's Pastor Emerita Joanna Adams will join us for breaking bread and a conversation titled, “What I’ve Learned Since You Saw Me Last.” We will meet at Lynn Young's home at 277 The Prado at 6:30 p.m. Dinner and drinks will be served. RSVP to Kim Perez at kimkperez@gmail.com.
CONGREGATIONAL LUNCH
Join us for a congregational lunch on Sunday, February 5 following worship. In order to be good stewards, we NEED YOU to RSVP, so that we know how much food to order. Our visitors on the 5th are welcome to attend the lunch, and we will plan accordingly. We need to start the new year with more accurate orders. We hope everyone will come, but we will only order enough for the responses received. CONTACT THE CHURCH OFFICE with your RSVP office@morningsidepc.org. Donations are accepted.
