BULLETIN
May 3, 2026
This morning is Graduation Sunday. It is with great joy that we honor our graduates. Whether you’re finishing kindergarten or earning a PhD, we celebrate your hard work and this special milestone. Congratulations—we are proud of you and praying for all that’s ahead.
I’m excited to share that registration for our Church Retreat is now open! Join us August 28–29 for a wonderful time of fellowship, fun, and growing together in God’s Word at the beautiful camp, The Wilds. The cost is $30 per person with a family maximum of $150. Early bird registration ends August 1. Sign up today at morningside.org/church-retreat.
This morning, the sermon is titled “Prejudice Breaks the Law of Love”
(James 2:8-13). After our worship service, we are having a drop in open house at the Miller Ministry House (Pelham Road) from 11:15–12:30. We’re so thankful for the Lord’s provision and for everyone who gave and worked to make this possible, and for the Millers and their many years of faithful ministry at MBC.
This evening, I invite you to join us for a Night of Worship—a special time to reflect on God’s Word, lift our voices in song, and pray together.
