Ministries and Events you may be interested in:   A Musical Drama Camp Experience for kids age 8-15 We invite kids aged 8-15 to join us in recreating the story of Joseph from the Old Testament. We are happy to welcome back Julie Lawrence as our director and Jeanne Buoncristiano as our art consultant. They will be assisted by Alice Creviston. During the week, our professional staff will lead campers in singing, dramatics, choreography, set construction, make-up and costuming. The weeks activities will culminate in a Friday evening performance which will be open to the public. Because a major focus of the week is a performance of a musical, students must be in attendance every day of the 5-day camp. Enrollment is limited!!

Morning Star Annual Prayer Retreat! Get Ready!!!! Morning Star's Annual Prayer Retreat is coming on Friday evening and Saturday, November 20-21. The price this year (double occupancy) is $130 per person. The deposit is $50 per person to hold a room. This fee includes a meal Friday night and three meals on Saturday, plus one overnight in the Bayside Lodge. It also includes a craft and a special gift (both put together by Chris Fox), a speaker and organizer (that's me) and great music by Janet Parker. This retreat is for men, women, couples and singles. It is for those who are part of Morning Star, and those who are not. In other words, everyone of adult age is invited. The retreat will be held at Harvey Cedar's Bible Conference on Long Beach Island. This year our retreat is called, "It’s God's World: Caring for God’s Creation."We will be focusing on God's invitation to us to be caretakers of what God has made. The earth is a gift from God to us and it is important for us as Christians to value and care for God's gift. So put aside those dates! We need and want YOU there! Make your check out to Morning Star and put “Retreat” in the memo line. If you can pay now, it would be very helpful.

I found out about a ministry that helps to empower these courageous women who weave baskets by hand from the grasses of their land. The money they receive from their baskets helps them to support themselves and their children. The Session has authorized me to sell these baskets. If you would like to help the people of Rwanda by buying a basket, please call the church office: 732-606-9700 or e-mail me: MSsecretary@aol.com.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~              MORNING STAR PRAYER TEAM Morning Star has an e-prayer team who would love to pray for you.
