September Green Envelope
September & October we set aside for Food for Friends, a Morning Star original outreach event where we provide families struggling to make ends meet with a complete Thanksgiving meal, turkey included! This outreach has continued to grow over the years. Last year we handed out around 175 meals. Thank you for helping to make the difference in the lives of people in Omaha!
COMMUNITY GARDEN
Many skills are needed to assist with gardening, planting, harvesting, planning, education, grant writing, and outreach. Interested but can’t make the meeting? Contact a member of Outreach Committee!
Picture Director Update
We will be updating the directory this fall and providing hard copies for anyone that would like one. Please submit any updated information and/or photos to the Church Office by September 27th. Thank you!
WRAP, The Wellness Recovery Action Plan, Program will begin classes here at Morning Star on Wednesdays, at 7 PM beginning October 7th.

It provides tools and strategies to manage stress, improve well-being, and build resilience through personalized plans. WRAP is rooted in self-advocacy, self-awareness, and a commitment to achieving long-term wellness. Contact Kyle Wolfe for more information about WRAP or Star of Hope.
