BULLETIN
May 24, 2026
We have new and updated maps available at the Welcome Center and at each entrance station, as several of our Sunday School classes have moved to new rooms. If you are visiting with us, please stop by and see one of our greeters. They will be happy to provide you with a map, share information about our Sunday School class options, and help you learn more about our Sunday evening and Wednesday night schedules.
This evening, our Life Groups will meet. If you are not currently in a Life Group you can sign up at morningside.org/life-groups. Pastor Miller will preach at our PM gathering this evening in the chapel.
We have the opportunity to partner with Hope Baptist Church (Pastor Ben Gordon) during their VBS, July 13–15 in the evenings. We would love for our Morningside members to help support this ministry. For more information, please contact Pastor Steven Huffman at shuffman@morningside.org.
