Morningside will have a church yard sale on Saturday, September 28th in the old sanctuary building. The staff has been working hard to organize and sort items for this sale. Now we need your help to move everything and continue to sort and organize. Please meet in the Fellowship Hall.

Dear Morningside Family,
I want to invite you to our special 5-week study series, "Come To The Table," designed to deepen our fellowship with Christ and with each other.
During this crucial period in the life of our church, we are earnestly praying for and actively seeking unity within the Body of Christ. This study and our time together are vital for fostering the togetherness we aspire to achieve.
Dates and Time: - Wednesday nights, August 14 - September 11, - 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Location: Morningside Baptist Church Fellowship Hall

What to Expect:
- Shared Meal: Enjoy a meal together as a church family.
- Prayer: Spend time praying for one another, lifting up our concerns and praises.
- 28 Day Devotional Guide: Reignite your love for Christ, ensuring He has the first place in our lives and our church.

This is a wonderful opportunity to grow spiritually, connect with others, and strengthen our community. All are welcome!
Come join us as we embark on this journey together. Let’s come to the table, share our hearts, and deepen our fellowship with Christ and each other.
I look forward to sharing this time with each of you.
Blessings,
Pastor Matt
