Welcome to our annual praise service. Our choir and orchestra will lead us in worshiping God, and we will celebrate Communion. Pre-packaged Communion elements are available at the Auditorium doors. This service is the kickoff for our holiday schedule. Get details for our holiday events into the new year at morningside.org/holiday-schedule. And the heart of our holiday schedule is our Christmas program (Joy to the World, December 14, 10 AM).
