Sunday Breakfast For Our Youth

We would like to continue this program, but need volunteers for help with providing the breakfast.  There is a sign up sheet on the hall bulletin board, if you would like to get involved in this worthwhile program.  Contact Sandy Hollaway at 565-0302 for details.  We need volunteers for the month of February. Thanks so much to all those members who have recently provided breakfasts for our youth! 

February Newsletter Winner

Congratulations to Sarah Shoffner for being the first to call in the answers for the children's puzzle in the February newsletter.

Facebook

A new Facebook "social network" account has recently been set up for members of Mt. Pleasant and was sanctioned by those attending the recent Charge Conference.    Think about Facebooking as another way to shorten the "grapevine" and as a way to fellowship by cyberspace.  I guess that's what we've come to in this modern age.  When I joined the Church's Facebook, I became the 36th member.   It looks like most of the members are active at Mt. Pleasant.   If you join, I'm sure there are others in the church that you will want to invite into this 21st century fellowship.   If you aren't interested, just ignore the invitation and there will be no hard feelings!    Obviously, getting to know each other better will allow us to assist each other better and pray more fervently as special physical, emotional, and spiritual needs become known.   I see Facebook as another way to follow the Biblical admonition to "forsake not the assembling of yourselves together" and as a tool to facilitate spiritual bonding as we get closer to the last days of this spiritual age.

Mt. Pleasant Cupboard of Care

During these difficult times, many people have to decide whether to buy food, pay bills or buy medicine. The Mt. Pleasant family has always been there to help those in need.  
We are asking those of you who can help, to provide food for people in Guilford, Alamance, and Randolph Counties in a very simple way.   There is a table in the Narthex where every week, you may place ONE of the following items: cereal, oatmeal, canned meats or vegetables, dried beans, any size zip-lock bags, brown paper lunch bags.   Thanks to all those members who have contributed and continue to contribute to this very important outreach program!

Since this program began last year, members of our church have contributed over 150 bags of items to needy people in Guilford, Alamance, and Randolph Counties.
