THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.
- Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird
YOUTH AUCTION
Thanks for your wonderful support for last Sunday's auction to grow our youth program. BOBO had a great day! Many of you still have items to pick up and/or pay for. Laura Fillyaw will be available in the Welcome Center during Coffee and Conversation this coming Sunday, April 1, for you to pay off your IOUs and receive your purchases. If you won't be here this Sunday, contact Laura atrhodon@comcast.net to arrange another time.

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.

Volunteers are needed for the final build date this Saturday, March 31. If you can help, contact Lynsley Tyler at lynsley@bellsouth.net. At 12 noon, the home in the Thomasville Heights neighborhood will be dedicated and the keys given to the homeowners. Thanks for helping to make this a reality!
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. This 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.
