22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
9:30 a.m. Coffee and Conversation
9:45 a.m. Sunday School Kickoff
Adults: Does the Bible seem too hard to understand? Do you feel like you're missing something about these ancient texts? Ever wonder how to talk about scripture in a world that seems to be so divided by "what the Bible says?" Everyone is invited to the adult Sunday school class as we begin a new six-week series on "Reading the Bible for Understanding." We will explore the different types of literature in the Bible and some tools for interpreting scripture. Bring your questions, bring your thoughts, bring your brain, and bring your heart. All are welcome in Room 201 at 9:45 a.m.
Children: Preschool children will engage in hands-on activities about color and light as follow-up for Blue and Green and Purple, Too! The theme for Fall Elementary Classes is "Messengers for God". Today the K-1 and 2nd-3rd grades will respond to Paul's message in Romans: "nothing can separate us from God love". 4th and 5th grades will be in worship.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable...Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
CHILDREN AND YOUTH CHOIRS
Children's Cherub Choir (Kindergarten through 3rd graders) will have a parent meeting and first practice this Wednesday, August 28 from 6 to 6:30 p.m. Regular 6 p.m. weekly half-hour practices will begin Wednesday, September 11. Contact Children's Choir Director Rebecca Shipley rebeccashipley@mindspring.com to confirm participation in Cherub Choir.

THINKING ABOUT JOINING MORNINGSIDE

Both will be held in the Session Room at 9:45 a.m. For more information or to register, please contact Baron Mullis (404.876.7396, ext. 11; baron.mullis@morningsidepc.org).
KIDS PARTICIPATE IN WORSHIP
If your 3rd-5th grader would like to carry communion elements into worship this school year, let Melinda Sandkam know that you will be joining us for a brief training session in the sanctuary at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, September 8. This is a great way for older elementary children to connect with worship as leaders. Baron Mullis will talk to kids about the meaning of communion and worship leadership.
