THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. - Leo Tolstoy
WELCOME, JOANNA ADAMS
This Sunday, March 3 we are delighted that our Pastor Emerita, Rev. Joanna Adams, will deliver this morning's sermon. We are indeed honored and privileged to have Joanna back among us.
THEOLOGY ON TAP
The next meeting of the men of Morningside will be hosted by Brad Odom (2183 Ellwyn Drive, Chamblee, 30341) on Tuesday, March 5, at 7 p.m. Mark your calendars, and RSVP to the church office office@morningsidepc.org.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Our annual Habitat for Humanity build with other area churches continues through April 13. Look for signup sheets on the Habitat bulletin board or contact Lynsley Tyler lynsley@bellsouth.net for details and join us when you can.
OUR HOUSE IN MARCH
Please bring your gently used spring and summer children's clothing (infant-5 years) to the Welcome Center baskets beginning March 4 through March 24. We will also collect diapers (all sizes) and wipes to be donated to Our House, a preschool in Decatur for children facing homelessness. This great outreach is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a fundraiser on Saturday, March 16 at The Commerce Club. Buy your tickets on line today at www.ourhousega.org to support a great cause and to enjoy a fabulous evening!
BE GREEN FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY WEEKEND (and the earth!)
On Saturday, March 16 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon MPP will partner with Atlanta Paint Disposal http://www.atlantapaintdisposal.com/ to collect and recycle or dispose of household items in an environmentally friendly manner. The collection site will be the preschool parking lot, and MPP will earn 15 percent profit of items collected. That profit will help fund preschool environmental projects. This is a great way to care for our earth and clean out your home!
CALL FOR MPC GARDENERS!
Grab your gardening gloves and a shovel and join us for a workday on the MPC grounds, Saturday, March 16, 9 a.m. to 12 noon. It's a good way to spruce up for spring and to get to know other members of the congregation. We'll be working primarily in the Sara Richey Garden and around the Welcome Center entrance. The group will go to Alon's for a celebratory sandwich after we finish.
EASTER EGG HUNT
Mark your calendars now for our annual Easter Egg Hunt - "The Running of the Eggs!" - on Saturday, March 30. Activities begin at 10:45 a.m. and the egg hunt begins at 11 a.m. sharp. Join us for face painting, Easter masks and cookies, VBS registration, and best of all - lots of eggs!! Please bring your own basket. This is a big outreach to our community, and we hope that you will invite your neighbors to attend. Donations of candy-filled eggs are needed by March 24, (no peanuts please). Volunteers are also needed in two shifts: Setup/egg hiding 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and event/clean-up 10:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Please sign up on the posters at church or contact Jennifer James at jennjames@comcast.net.
SUMMER DATES
Vacation Bible School and Mission Camp registration forms are on our church website and the bulletin boards across from the nursery room 105.
