THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
"The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us." ~ C.S. Lewis
WELCOME NEW MEMBERS TO MORNINGSIDE
A very warm welcome our newest members! Joining our community last Sunday were Alyssa & Casey Durden, Gary Hurd, Bryant Hand & Chase Robinson, Aaron Pratt, Whitney Stevens, Katherine Vytal & Alexander Watts. We're glad you're here!
"SING WITH THE CHOIR" SUNDAY JUNE 30
Ever wanted to sing with Morningside's Chancel Choir, but didn't think you had the time or the training? Well, here's your chance to join them for "Sing with the Choir" Sunday. About 10 guests will be chosen (first come, first serve) by emailing music@morningsidepc.org with your name. Those singing must attend one rehearsal on Wed., June 26 at 7:30 p.m. and arrive on Sunday, June 30 at 9:30 a.m., for a warmup/rehearsal before the 11:00 service. Wear a robe, process with the choir, and sing a hymn arrangement, plus a closing response. If you can carry a tune, you're in!
SPECIAL JUNE CONCERT AT MPC
This 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.
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.
MISSION CAMP
Our fifth year of It's Not All About Me Mission Camp is July 22-26, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, with an overnight adventure to Len Foote Hike Inn on Thursday. This hands-on experience with mission includes outreach 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 dedicated overnight leaders who are willing to hike in and out to Len Foote.
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.
SEVERE WEATHER RESPONSE
In light of recent severe weather nationwide, please support 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 Northeast U.S. 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.
