THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself. - Groucho Marx
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY WITH JOANNA ADAMS
Joanna Adams' "Rethinking the Bible" series concludes with the June meeting. This 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.
SING WITH THE CHOIR
Get ready to see (and hear!) 10 of your fellow MPC members sing with the Chancel Choir for worship next Sunday, June 24. If you have signed up to sing, plan to attend your one rehearsal in the Fellowship Hall this Wednesday, June 20, 7:30 - 9 p.m. On June 24, you will meet for warm-up/rehearsal at 9:30 a.m. This special mix of choir members and guests will sing a classic arrangement of the hymn "Abide with Me" by Gilbert Martin, often performed by the Duke University Choirs. A final Choral Response will also be offered by the combined group. Come see your friends "robe-up!"
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 still 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.
THEOLOGY ON TAP RETREAT
John and Ann Watson have graciously agreed to host Morningside's men's group for their annual retreat in Suches this 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.
CLIFTON SANCTUARY MINISTRIES
MPC would like to provide a Welcome Home Basket for each man at Clifton transitioning from homelessness by moving into their own home. We will be collecting household pantry items for these baskets through July 15. A list of requested items can be found on the bulletin board in the Welcome Center. Please contact Shepherd David Johnston with any questions at 678.705.1628 or dmjohnst@gmail.com.
MISSION CAMP VOLUNTEERS
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.
CONGRATULATIONS TO
