From the Director --
"Walkway of the Faithful" A great way to commemorate your own journey of faith!!!
   
The Brick Campaign is well underway and the first bricks will be installed next week in the covered walkway between the two buildings at MorningStar.  We've only just begun, so consider this initial walkway of the campaign for your commemorative brick!
 
 Support MorningStar! Buy a Brick!
 
It is so easy to do!  Click on the brick and see how easy it is to make a contribution that will celebrate and commemorate your own spiritual renewal!
 
All purchases are fully tax deductible, and MorningStar is titheing 10% of all monies raised in the Brick Campaign to retreat ministry at Agape House in Africa.
 
In Jesus, our bright MorningStar
