Praise Service: Loving God
We welcome you to today’s praise service. Our victorious God deserves our praise and worship, and as a disciple we should desire to give God what he deserves. If you don’t know for sure that you are a disciple of Jesus, find out how you can today. Our speaker is Pastor Miller, and pre-packaged Communion elements are available at the Auditorium doors.
Tonight we hold our annual Pie & Praise fellowship. The evening gathering (5 PM, AUD) will be followed by pie in the gym (suggested donation $1/each, $5/family). Pastor Ontoy will provide Wednesday’s prayer challenge. Get our preaching calendar here.
Holiday Schedule: Loving Each Other
For a few years now, this service has been the kickoff for our holiday schedule. From tonight’s Pie & Praise (suggested donation $1/each, $5/family) into the New Year, make plans for all our special events.
Christmas Program Invites: Loving Our World
The heart of our holiday schedule is our Christmas program. This year’s program reminds us that Jesus wasn’t just a Baby in a manger. He is God With Us forever. Invite cards are available at the Welcome Center, and you can send a digital invitation at morningside.org/christmas.
