THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Religion, declares the modern man, is consciousness of our highest social values. Nothing could be further from the truth. True religion is a profound uneasiness about our highest social values. -Reinhold Niebuhr, Beyond Tragedy: Essays on the Christian Interpretation of History
TORNADO RESPONSE
As needs are being assessed following the tornado in Moore, OK, you may want to do something immediately. Morningside has for a long time been a supporting congregation for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. PDA is known for their long-term planning in recovery efforts as evidenced by on-going work for New Orleans, Haiti, Japan, and the Northeast of the United States after super-storm Sandy. You may donate directly by going to www.pcusa.org or you may donate through Morningside by marking your check for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. As always, we will continue to look for ways to share God's love following these tragic events.
LGBT & FRIENDS
LGBT & Friends will take a summer break after gathering at the home of Ann Bowers and Maria Ragland (568 Park Drive NE) tonight, May 21 at 7 p.m. All are welcome to come and help kick around discussion topics for fall and winter meetings. RSVP to Michael Siedschlag michaelmspnyc@yahoo.com.
FOOD & FELLOWSHIP AT CLIFTON
We have another opportunity to help provide dinner to 30 homeless men living at Clifton Sanctuary Ministries. The men are working hard, so help us provide them with fellowship and food this Saturday, May 25. We will need chicken cutlets and sides delivered by 5:30 p.m. to the shelter, and then we hope you choose to stay to help serve the food you've prepared. A sign-up sheet is on the mission board, or you may contact David Johnston dmjohnst@hotmail.com for more information.
