DARDENNE PRAIRIE, MO – Every year, Morning Star Church partners with local non-profits and school districts to provide Christmas gifts to under-resourced families and foster children in their community. This year, Morning Star also reached out to the tornado victims of Joplin, Mo. With the help of the community, Morning Star Church has accepted over 8,000 gifts this year and, with the help of volunteers, will wrap them over the weekend to hand out to over 500 families and foster children.
Founded in 1999, Morning Star Church seeks to meet people right where they are and help them take their next steps on their spiritual journey. Morning Star provides a wide variety of opportunities for spiritual and emotional growth, from support groups to classes, all of which are available to members as well as to the community. Under the leadership of Lead Pastor Mike Schreiner, Morning Star has grown from its initial attendance of 200 people to over 4,029 at 2011 Easter services.
