THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Don't make the world worse. I know that I'm supposed to tell you to aspire to great things. But I'm going to lower the bar here: Just don't use your prodigious talents to mess things up. Too many smart people are doing that already. - Charles Wheelan's advice to college graduates (from 10 1/2 Things No Commencement Speaker Has Ever Said, adapted in the Wall Street Journal, April 27).
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
- Support VBS by donating requested snack and lunch items. See the display in the Welcome Center. Bring your donated items to church by the date listed on the reminder slip.
- Take-home projects are now available to prepare materials ahead of time. Choose an item from the round table upstairs.
- One and two-day volunteers needed, too! Prepare and serve snack one day; help staff the nursery for our volunteers' younger kids; help with an activity or closing day lunch. Even if you only have 2-4 hours to give, we still need you.
SUPPORT MEN AT JOURNEY SHELTER
Please bring in requested items to stock Journey's shelter with breakfast needs. Place non-perishable items (such as grits, oatmeal, pancake mix, syrup, cereal, canned fruit juice, canned fruit, coffee, sugar and creamer) in the Welcome Center baskets by this Sunday, June 17.
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY WITH JOANNA ADAMS
Joanna Adams' "Rethinking the Bible" series concludes with the June meeting. On Wednesday, June 20, all women and friends are invited to gather in Room 201 at 10 a.m. to discuss the question "What the Bible Says about Heaven and Hell." This month's meeting is a shift to the third Wednesday of the month and a change from our regular schedule. Childcare is available - reserve through the church office.
THEOLOGY ON TAP RETREAT
John and Ann Watson have graciously agreed to host Morningside's men's group for their annual retreat in Suches on Saturday, June 23. John and Ann's home is an easy drive from Morningside and is located near the Appalachian trail. RSVP to the church office@morningsidepc.org if you would like to attend.
MISSION CAMP VOLUNTEER
It looks like we will have at least 27 attending Mission Camp July 23-27. Monday, Thursday and Friday, we will need at least seven drivers each day (or half day) to get to our outreach destinations. Contact Melinda today to sign up to accompany kids to locations such as Atria Senior Community, Atlanta Humane Society, Gateway Childcare or the Intown Collaborative Ministries' food pantry. If you are seeking a big summer adventure, join us for overnight hike on Tuesday and Wednesday.
YOUTH NEWS
Don't forget to buy one of those $10 "stock" certificates from one of our youth planning to travel to the Montreat Middle School Conference in South Carolina next month. You will receive a report back from the kids plus a hot-dog lunch on Sunday, August 5, after worship.
MEALS ON WHEELS
Driver needed for Meals on Wheels route the second Wednesday of every month beginning in September. Please contact Sarah Brownlee at rsbrownlee1046@att.netif you can help.
