THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake. - Victor Hugo
SECOND ANNUAL SILENT YOUTH AUCTION
Come by and bid on the talents and treasures collected for your shopping pleasure! Bidding is all week long and will close at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, March 25. All proceeds will help defray expenses and provide scholarships for the youth and their chaperones who will provide two days of service in the Atlanta area before traveling to join some 600 of their peers at the annual middle-school conference hosted by Presbyterian College and presented by Montreat.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR DEACONS
The Book of Order reminds us that the deacons' ministry is one of compassion, witness and service for the poor, hungry, sick, lost, friendless, oppressed or anyone in distress. MPC's deacons will be reaching out to members in the coming monthswith the hope of making personal contact with everyone in the congregation. We want to listen to your wants, needs and prayer requests. Look for an email or call in the near future. In the meantime, if we can assist you in any way, contact the deacon on call for the week.
ONE GRAY HAIR LUNCHEON
Come to lunch at noon this Wednesday, March 21 when Bob Wells will tell us about the "Mystery of the Trees"- curious, oddly-shaped trees that were used by Native Americans to guide themselves across the North American Continent to trade, hunt, communicate with other tribes, and gather plants for medicines and more. RSVP to the Brownlees rsbrownlee1046@att.net.
LENTEN WALKING
We continue our Lenten walking discipline this Thursday, March 22 from 6 to 7 p.m.

MORNINGSIDE MEET-UP
This Saturday, March 24, at 6:30 p.m., MPC adults are invited to the spring meet-up hosted by Hillery and John McNeill (20 Stratford Pl., 30342).

MPP ADDS KINDERGARTEN!
Morningside Presbyterian Preschool is proud to announce our Kindergarten Class! Beginning in the fall of 2012, we will add our half-day Kindergarten class as an expansion of our Preschool program. Our kindergarten class will be a dynamic half-day program designed to use child-centered learning which encourages creativity, fun and academic success. Watch for more information to come about this exciting new program. If you have any questions, please call Sarah at 404.685.8758 or email her at mpp@morningsidepc.org.
WOMEN'S ROUNDTABLE
The next Roundtable will be Monday, March 26 at the home of Amy Jarratt (1697 N. Pelham Rd.). We begin at 6:30 p.m. and end at 8:45 p.m. Our focus will be getting to know each other better, so we will have social time and perhaps play a game. RSVP to Kim Perez kimkperez@gmail.com.
YOUNG ADULTS
Since the first one was so well received, another vocational/career session has been scheduled for the Young Adults at the home of Brad Odom. Whether you attended the first one or not is not an issue. On Sunday, April 1, at 6 p.m., Glenn Small, a licensed counselor, will facilitate the group in such a manner as to review and expand the earlier material. If you are searching for "what's next" in your career search, this might be helpful. To RSVP or for more information, contact Brad atjbradleyodom@gmail.com.
CONGRATULATIONS TO...
...Jake and Laura Marshall Strong on the birth of their son, Charles Robert Strong, on March 17 (proud grandparents are Georgia and Robert Marshall).
