Greetings Mt. Pleasant Church from your Elder team. What is your status? Pastor Chris has just completed a

4-week series on Relationships Defined. Whether you are single, dating, married, and/or a parent we hope this series has spoken to you regardless of your “status”. We all know others who can benefit from these messages. These sermons can be found on the church website as well as the app and are great resources to share with someone you know who needs to hear what God’s Word says about relationships.

Did you know that we have 5+ years of sermons on our website & app? There are tons of great sermons on hundreds of different topics, all there for easy access to allow us to grow in our walk and share the Gospel with the world that is in desperate need of hearing it.

As we turn the page from spring to summer, Vacation Bible School is just around the corner. This is one of the largest community outreach events of the year where literally hundreds of families that don’t attend our church will be here to learn about Jesus. It takes hundreds of volunteers to make VBS work and share the unfailing love of Jesus with these kids and their families. There are plenty of places to serve, and we encourage you to find your place to be part of this outreach. You may be the only Jesus someone sees – be His hands and feet.

The Elder team is busy preparing for the Family Night Fall Bible study. Mark your calendars now! Family night will start back the first week of October and it will be here before you know it. We will pick up where we left off in our spring study and will be covering 2nd Thessalonians and James.

Lastly, we would like to remind you to check out our small groups and visit several to find the right fit for you. We are called as followers of Jesus to study and grow in His Word. One of the ways we do that is in fellowship and community with other believers. In his letters, Paul wrote:

1 Thessalonians 5:11: Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Hebrews 10:24-25: And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

There is additional signage and information about small groups in the lobby and on our website.Please reach out to any Elder or Staff Member for more information. If you are already in a small group, invite someone to join you.
