TODAY'S WORSHIP SERVICE
Choir Camp
It’s a great time of year to join our choir. Our in-house choir/orchestra camp is October 10-11. You’ll get some time to meet other musicians. You’ll probably have a little fun. And you’ll get to learn our Christmas music. Learn more at morningside.org/music.
Growth Classes & Starting Point
Starting tonight, we are holding classes to help your whole family grow. Pastor Miller & Dr. Steve Cruice will teach what the Bible says about marriage (AUD). Gary & Rebecca Weier will teach on Parenting with Truth and Love (106). Erin Jones will teach a session for women (107), and Pastor Jones will teach for men (CH). Sessions for children and teens will also meet. Learn more at morningside.org/growth-classes.
Part of spiritual growth is having full support from a church family. Tonight’s classes also include our Starting Point membership interest class with Pastor Crockett (231). Learn more at morningside.org/membership.
Fall Fest
It’s a great time of year to reach out to our community. On Wednesday, October 29, we will host the Awana Fall Fest from 6:45-8:00 PM. We need volunteers to decorate trunks for Trunk or Treat, and we need donations of candy! Sign up to host a trunk at morningside.org/events. Donation containers for candy are available in the lobby.
