Giving

Previously we encouraged people to give gifts during our Jubilee year to go to our building fund to be applied to debt retirement. Please consider giving in amounts such as $5 (good child's level); $50; $500; $5,000; or even $50,000 as we celebrate 50 years of ministry at Morningside.

Invitations

If you would like invite former Morningsiders, at the Welcome Center pick up an invitation letter by Pastor Miller and mail it or hand it to your friends. Please note that Morningside is already inviting some of the former staff and deacons. If you have a question about who needs to be invited, please contact ljackson@morningside.org.

Extended Ministry Volunteers

If you have served at Morningside in a lay capacity for 20 years or longer, please fill out an Extended Volunteer Ministry form at the Welcome Center and drop it into the collection box by Sunday, September 7.
