27 May The Shepherd’s Staff – May 2025
He is not here, for He has risen..
Greetings Mt. Pleasant Church from your Elder team. We hope everyone had a Happy Resurrection Day, celebrating our Lord and Savior, Jesus rising on the third day and conquering death, hell, and the grave for us. We had “The Best Day” ever worshiping together where 880 of us gathered across our services, with five people taking the next step in their faith through baptism. Praise the Lord!
On behalf of the MTP Elder Team, we are excited to announce that BethAnn Starbuck has agreed to be the Interim Director of The Point (MTP Homeschool Co-Op). BethAnn has been a key contributor to the establishment of The Point and part of the team, building the foundation to grow it into what it is today. BethAnn has worked tirelessly in The Point since its beginning and comes with years of homeschooling experience, teaching her own children long before homeschooling was as mainstream as it is now. She is a familiar face and will lead us forward into the next school year.
We would like to thank Lauren Rathbone for her tremendous leadership and dedication to The Point. She has taken the idea of having a homeschool co-op as a ministry of Mt. Pleasant Church and built it up from an idea to a thriving and growing program. God has used Lauren to bless His children in the co-op. We wish her all the best as God continues to use her in future endeavors.
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.
