Congregational Lunch

highlights.
ICM Collection
MPC is collecting canned meats - tuna, chicken, Vienna sausages (preferably pop-tops), and crackers through today. Please place items in the Welcome Center baskets. Contact shepherd Nancy Collins ncollins0209@gmail.com with questions.
Calling All Talent for Music Ministry
If you have ever thought about joining the Morningside Handbell Choir, now is a great time to join. The group plays at worship six times throughout the year and rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7-8 p.m. Please contact Jeff Peters with your interest or any questions jeffcpeters@gmail.com.
Children’s Choir Kickoff
The choir year is about to kick off and we would like to extend an invitation to your child to participate. Cherub Choir, boys and girls K-3rd, will begin practicing this Wednesday, August 29,
6-6:30 p.m. Treble Choir, boys and girls 4th grade and up, will start their practice the following Wednesday, September 5, 6:30-7:15 p.m. Contact Choir Coordinator, Tamara Nix
tamaranix@yahoo.com with questions.
Library Work Day
Work continues on organizing library books in the Session Room. Contact Melinda Sandkam
msandkam@morningsidepc.org to let her know you can join us this Wednesday,
August 29, 10am-12 noon.
Theology on Tap
Morningside men will resume their monthly get-togethers Tuesday, September 4, 7 p.m. at the home of Todd McDonald, 835 Rowland St., Clarkston 30021 (404.408.7776.) Baron Mullis will lead the discussion. RSVP to
office@morningsidepc.org by Mon., Sept. 3.
Yoga Resumes
Atlanta native and Morningside member, Pam Sharpe, certified yoga teacher, is continuing her yoga classes this September. She is happy to offer a gentle yoga class at Morningside on Tuesday mornings this fall, beginning September 11. The class is open to Morningside members and friends. To register or for more information, contact Pam at yogapam@bellsouth.net.
Tai Chi Class Forming
Tai Chi is often called meditation in motion. Over three hundred years ago, Chinese martial artists developed softness as the most efficient way to move the body while maintaining balance. Medical research confirms benefits for people with stress, high blood pressure, arthritis, fibromyalgia and Parkinson’s disease, as well as preventing injury from falling among seniors. We will meet in Fellowship Hall on Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. beginning September 11. The class will run for 8 weeks. Come give it a try. We think you’ll like it! For more information, contact Bob Wellswellscom@comcast.net.
Lydia Circle
After taking a summer reprieve, Lydia Circle will start up again on Thursday, September 13. Lydia Circle, a group of young female professionals and moms, welcomes members and visitors of MPC to join them on the 13th from 7-9 p.m. at the home of Tamara Nix, 1732 N. Rock Springs, 30324). Contact Tara Parrish to RSVP and for more information taraparrish@bellsouth.net.
Another Day at the Braves!
Please join us for a summer MPC outing at Turner Field! Jack Klotz has gotten us $15 seats in the upper box (on the shaded side) for Sunday, September 16, at 1:30 p.m. Seats include a choice of a commemorative Dale Murphy hat or shirt. Contact David and Katherine Johnston dmjohnst @gmail.com for tickets and more information.
Fall Mission Trip
We invite you to join us this fall as we work with Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Hope in New Orleans (an outreach of St. Charles Presbyterian Church).
