Pete McCoy, who has spoken to Prime Timers in the past, has graciously accepted to speak to our group at Morningview at our January 24, 2012 meeting. He was liberated from Germany during WWII, and is an author, adjunct, and professor of History at Faulkner, Troy, and Auburn/AUM. The group has really enjoyed his presentations in the past. He will bring some of his books as some members were very interested in purchasing them.
His topic will be: “TO GET TO HIM, YA GOTTA GO THROUGH ME”.
Please note, the Christmas Caroling schedule has changed. We will meet in Armstrong Hall at 5:45 p.m. The nursery will open at 5:45 for ages birth through three years of age. We will leave the church at 6:00 p.m. and return for the chili supper at 7:00 p.m. The church will furnish some chili but we are asking others to bring chili also. If you are able to bring a pot of chili, please let us know by either calling the church at 272-2304 or emailing info@morningview.org
The Morningview Christmas Celebration
Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 6:00 pm
Every December it is our distinct privilege and joy to celebrate and treasure God’s grace in Christ Jesus, given to us as a humble baby born in stable.
Though the story is old and familiar for so many of us, a fresh look at it’s cherished lines still brings a sense of wonder and awe even to those who know it best.
One of our favorite traditions at Morningview is the retelling of the sweet story through the the rich sounds and angelic melodies of the holiday season.
Apart from our regular weekend services of worship, we set aside one Sunday evening per year especially for the purpose of treasuring the child in the manger in song.
This is our “Christmas Celebration” and we would love to share it with you!
Please come and be the guest of our Orchestra and Choir as we celebrate the Savior with some of the most time honored songs of the season and then join us for a reception to follow.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
This year’s Toy Store will once again be held at Chisholm Baptist Church on Tuesday, December 13th and Thursday, December 15th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

We will also offer stocking stuffers at a rate of $.10 cents each.
Our Toy Store was created to help be a part of a healing process of the family unit. It helps restore dignity and self esteem of the parents while aiding the children in regaining respect for them. It also teaches priorities and sacrifice. I pray you will join us in making a difference in the lives of many.
Deadline to deliver toys to the Hands of Christ Ministry at 3000 Lower Wetumpka Rd. is Thursday December 8th. We are open Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

I am so excited and looking forward to what God has in store for us.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to minister to those in need.
Thank you,
Teri McDonald
We want to provide opportunities of instruction for you to help instill a biblical worldview in your child. A special session for parents of both two year old classes will be led by our Senior Pastor, Shawn Merithew. This will be a one time meeting during Sunday School on September 25th. To provide ample time to cover material, please have your child checked into the Preschool area by 9:00 am. If they have older siblings, they will stay in the Preschool area and be taken to their class at 9:15 am. We will meet in the chapel and refreshments will be served.
