THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
I have explored hills and valleys of aging, crossed rivers, rested in meadows, engaged in dialogues, listened intently, worked hard, and met remarkable women and men, .......I sought wisdom and serenity above silver and gold. Why should the story of my odyssey concern you? Because it is your story, too. ~ Malcolm Boyd
THINKING ABOUT JOINING MORNINGSIDE

4TH-5TH GRADE OUTING

This hands-on experience with mission includes outreaches to children and seniors, the environment and animals, and many who are facing hunger or homelessness here in Atlanta. With daily outings, we need lots of volunteers and also those dedicated overnight leaders who are willing to hike in and out to Len Foote. Registration forms are due NO LATER than Sunday, June 2 and can be found at church and on our website. Contact Melinda to volunteer or for more information including scholarships.
SUMMER YOGA
Morningside will begin classes on Tuesday, June 11 and will continue each Tuesday through July 16. Veteran Yoga teacher, Pam Sharpe, invites you to join her fabulous band of students to explore the joys and benefits of a gentle yoga practice. Bend, extend, strengthen, and relax on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. in Room 201. All you need is comfy clothes. For more information contact Pam at yogapam@bellsouth.net.
SPECIAL JUNE CONCERT AT MPC
On Sunday, June 9, at 4 p.m., the Atlanta Opera's High School Opera Institute singers, led by Walter Huff, will return to our sanctuary, and we're invited! This will be the third year MPC has welcomed the free 'graduation' concert of these young vocalists that culminates the 2012-2013 High School Opera educational program and features young singers from public and private schools throughout the area. In addition, members of the Lenten Youth Ensemble (or others interested in future youth ensembles) are encouraged to attend and go out to eat afterwards. Contact Lisa Jern lisa.jern@sablaw.com or Kim Perez kimkperez@gmail.com to RSVP.
SIX STAR
Six Star Refugee Partnership is in urgent need of a used vehicle for their newest family from the Congo. This is a wonderful couple coming to us via St. John's Lutheran Church and the husband desperately needs transportation to his night job in Gwinnett County. If you can help, please contact Holly Campbell hollycampbell1@gmail.com.
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.
OUR SYMPATHY TO
Randy Young, MPC Facilities Manager, on the recent death of his father in Florida.
