BULLETIN
September 6, 2026
Welcome to Morningside! If you’re wondering whether Morningside is the church for you, join me for a Starting Point membership interest class upstairs in room 231 after this morning’s worship service. Tonight we install Pastor Matt, and before he preaches for us you will get a peek at what youth group is like!
Women’s Ministry will have a workday at our ministry partner, Piedmont Women’s Center, on Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM. Our ladies will help clean and organize their facility as we show our love and support for PWC ministry to women and families and their work to save unborn lives.
Men’s Ministry will have a time of prayer and fellowship at our Men’s Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, September 19, at 8:00 AM. This will be a great opportunity to fellowship together, meet other men from our church, and bring our requests before the Lord. We hope you can join us!
